Known as Shahua Candy in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, this traditional snack shares cultural roots with regional variations such as Liaohua Candy (Shaanxi), Laolaole (Henan), Xuezao (Jiangxi), and Mazao (Fujian). Crafted through 26 elaborate steps, it is recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage.

    Ashu Shahua innovates this centuries-old recipe by replacing traditional deep-frying with oven baking, resulting in a healthier, lighter version of this beloved treat.
