Tips:
1. In order to make the rice have a distinct yellow color, the yolk of the soil egg is used to fry the rice.
2. The cold rice cake is very hard and difficult to cut. It is better to steam it a little bit, but it should not be steamed for too long, it will become very soft and sticky. If you accidentally steamed it too softly, wait until it has cooled slightly before cutting it.
3. Fill between the eyes, nose, and mouth with rice.
