The preparation involves steaming rice flour with water until it forms a solid yet soft texture.
The cake is sometimes served with braised fish, braised pork, shrimp paste and crab soup.
The cake is often paired with different toppings such as tofu, stir-fried ground pork, wood ear mushrooms, and various herbs, all complemented by a sweet fish sauce.
