Peen tong is used as an ingredient in desserts, sauces and sweet soups.
Peen tong is sometimes used as an ingredient in
nian gao, whereby the slab of
peen tong is scraped and the resultant shavings are used in the dish. Another method for its use in
nian gao is to dissolve the
peen tong in water, which is less time-consuming compared to scraping it. It is used as an ingredient in
jiandui (), a
sesame ball prepared using glutinous rice flour.
Peen tong is also used in
haptou wu (), a sweet Chinese
walnut soup. ==See also==
