'''Zeng Gao''' (Simplified / Traditional Chinese: 甑糕; Pinyin: ''Zèng gāo''; also zenggao; sometimes written casually as jing gao in English tips) is a Xi'an and Shaanxi street snack of glutinous and/or ordinary rice steamed in a traditional '''zeng''' (甑) steamer, layered with red dates (jujubes) and cut into wedges. The cake is mildly sweet, sticky, and aromatic from the dates. Soft folk etymologies about the steamer name vary; treat single-inventor tales as folklore. It is distinct from southern [[Nine-Layer Cake]] / kuih lapis styles and from [[Fa Gao]] cup cakes.<ref name="wp">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaanxi_cuisine English Wikipedia]</ref><br />
