Light Bread (Kuang Bao)

Created during the Chinese Ming Dynasty as durable rations for soldiers. Light, long-lasting and the Sesame seeds supposedly help blood circulation and constipation.

 

As it would harden over time, soldiers would soak this in water to make it soft and more palatable again.
