These sticks prop up blocks filled with blood. Vendors prepare these savory pops by mixing pig’s blood with steamed sticky rice. This creates a semi-gelatinous, cohesive texture that maintains the integrity of each grain, giving it a chewiness reminiscent of Korean rice cakes or Japanese mochi.
It’s chewy, crunchy, very sweet and can be served chopped into cubes. Popular Chinese blood treats include a highly nutritious Cantonese-style rice congee with coagulated pig’s blood shaped into tofu-like cubes, known as blood tofu or blood pudding. Congealed duck, chicken or cow’s blood can be used with noodles, herbs and hotpot soups.
