Taiwanese-style roast pork dumplings
Taiwanese-style roast pork dumplings are not small because of the large amount of materials. The filling contains pork, shiitake mushrooms, dried shrimp, peanuts, salted egg yolks, shallots, chestnuts, dried oysters, etc., which are added according to personal preferences, and the taste is salty and fresh, delicious and nutritious, and has a strong Minnan flavor.
Taiwanese-style roasted meat dumplings are divided into northern rice dumplings and southern rice dumplings, and the production methods are "steamed and steamed in the south", with different flavors: the southern rice dumplings have a faint bamboo leaf Qingchun, soft and sticky; the northern rice dumplings have a strong five-spice pepper flavor and the rice grains are distinct.
