Shatao Palace Rice Dumpling Introduction
In Tainan, the "vegetable dumpling" refers to a peanut dumpling wrapped in butterfly ginger leaves, which is a common breakfast food in the city. Lao Zheng's vegetable dumpling has a unique feature; it does not include peanut powder. Lao Zheng mentions that their peanuts and glutinous rice are of high quality, and adding peanut powder would mask the original flavors of the ingredients. Additionally, not using peanut powder allows the fragrance of the butterfly ginger leaves to stand out even more. A simple dumpling served with miso soup makes for a beautiful morning scene in Tainan.
