Fuyuan Sticky Rice Dumplings Introduction
The aroma of bamboo leaves wafts through the air, carrying with it the century-old tradition of Chicken Rice, and Chiayi's most famous delicacy, "Meat Zongzi" (sticky rice dumplings). Originating from the Air Force Recreation Area, this culinary legacy began with a single skewer of meat zongzi and has grown to encompass three storefronts today. Each dumpling is crafted daily using carefully selected fresh ingredients, adhering to traditional methods of preparation. With a variety of types and an array of rich flavors, they have even innovated new flavors of meat zongzi, merging classic cuisine with modern health concepts to meet current trends in healthy eating. The Peanut Meat Zongzi is the signature dish created by the Fu Yuan Couple, reliant solely on peanuts, pork, and glutinous rice to produce its enchanting aroma and lingering aftertaste. This particular meat zongzi is a true testament to fundamental cooking skills. Glutinous rice is believed to bring good fortune and ward off misfortunes, while peanuts symbolize continuous fortune, making the Peanut Meat Zongzi an important offering during worship and ceremonies in Chiayi.
