Breakfast food in Taiwan is diverse with so many options that you can choose, from traditional ones to western fusion, there are way too many to introduce one by one. And speaking of my favourie Taiwanese breakfast, Fan Tuan飯糰, known as Rice Roll or Rice Ball, is definitely on my top 3 list. Fan Tuan is classic Taiwanese breakfast food made with glutinous sticky rice (white or purple) stuffed with fillings including You Tiao油條, Meat Floss肉鬆, and Pickles. (Sometimes with egg, different types of your choice.) In Taiwan, you can always spot small food carts selling freshly made Fan Tuan in the early morning around the neighboured street, so people can buy and eat it on the go to school or work.
Since I
bought a box of frozen You Tiao earlier on, I’ve decided to use it making
Taiwanese Fan Tuan today. Despite this You Tiao (from a Chinese brand I never
know) doesn’t taste exactly the same as Taiwanese You Tiao, it still worked.
Having Fan Tuan just made me feel having a great start of the day, it’s
absolutely delicious and keeping me full in the morning.
My fillings for Fan Tuan
-You Tiao
-Pollock floss
-Takana/Pickled mustard leaves from Yutaka
-Spring onion egg omelette.
Also here are my tips to cook glutinous
sticky rice
-The
ratio of sticky rice and water is 1:0.6.
-No need
to soak in water before cooking.
I’ve
used above method to steam sticky rice for many times and it’s always being cooked
perfectly.
之前買的一盒冷凍油條，前陣子開封了兩條拿來配稀飯，今天決定再繼續用油條來做台式飯糰，我還煞有其事的找了一條全新的抹布把它套進塑膠袋，想要效仿台灣早餐店包飯糰的方式，無奈我我手勁不夠大，飯糰壓好久才成型，而且最後變得好大一團，雖然這個油條的口感不太像台灣的油條(我買的這款口感很像雙胞胎)，但包了肉鬆跟酸菜的糯米飯糰吃起來還是讓人感動得想哭，再配上一杯冰豆漿，真的有瞬間回到台灣傳統早餐店的感覺。
