Winter melon sticks are used more for desserts, moon cakes, eight-treasure rice, and pastries are sometimes used. Winter melon strips are particularly sweet, because the whole process of marinating with white sugar allows the sugar to fully melt into the winter melon strips. It is better to choose winter melon sticks that are harder.
