Shataogong Vegetable Rice Dumpling Introduction
In Tainan, the "vegetable zongzi" refers to glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in banana leaves with peanuts, which is a common breakfast food in the city. Old Zheng's version of vegetable zongzi has a unique feature: it doesn't add peanut powder. Old Zheng believes that their peanuts and glutinous rice are of high quality, and adding peanut powder would mask the original flavors of the ingredients. Moreover, not using peanut powder can better highlight the fragrant aroma of the banana leaves. A simple zongzi paired with miso soup makes for a beautiful morning scene in Tainan.
