Mama Tu's Meat Dumplings Introduction
-Signature Dishes- Premium Sticky Rice Dumplings, Four-Ingredient Herbal Soup, Fish Ball Soup were originally sold to supplement family income. They decided to sell meat dumplings, and unexpectedly, the dumplings with "Mom's Flavor" became a huge hit, leading them to shift from a pushcart to a storefront. Situated next to the Huadong Highway, the location also provided free publicity for passing travelers. Tu Mama's Meat Dumplings specifically select Changhua glutinous rice and round glutinous rice, with fillings made from pollution-free front leg shoulder meat from Hualien. The sticky rice is stir-fried and steamed using Tu Mama's unique recipe developed over 30 years, while the pork is braised in a secret sauce for two and a half hours, combined with some mushrooms and other seasonings for a fragrant filling. The dumplings are made by steaming the glutinous rice first, then wrapping the filling and steaming, yielding a fragrant taste of bamboo leaves, which is firmer and chewier compared to regular dumplings that are stir-fried before steaming. When topped with the shop's special sauce and paired with a bowl of soup, it embodies the simple taste of home!
