Dongshi Achun Snack Fortune Bag Oyster Bun Introduction
The oyster pancake, known as "Fudai," differs not only in its filling and frying process but primarily in how it is wrapped. At "Dongshi Ah Chun Snack," the oyster pancake has the auspicious name "Fudai," and customers also refer to it as "You Ke (Oyster) Fortune." The filling for the Fudai oyster pancake includes cabbage, chives, ginger, small shrimp, glass noodles, oysters, and a whole raw egg. The preparation process involves chopping and dehydrating the cabbage and chives, mincing the ginger to remove excess water, and then mixing them with small shrimp, glass noodles, and a homemade seasoning. When customers order, the dough is laid in a bowl, filled with the ingredients and oysters, topped with a raw whole egg, and wrapped into a round shape, with the top twisted like the mouth of a soup dumpling. This unique shape is where the name "Fudai" comes from. Because the oyster pancake is wrapped tightly, it can be directly deep-fried without the need for the additional step of pan-frying, which is usually required for flatter oyster pancakes to prevent the filling from breaking out. After being fried to a perfect golden brown, the Fudai oyster pancakes are served cut into pieces with dipping sauce. The temperature-controlled frying ensures the outside is crispy while the inside is tender with a fresh vegetable and oyster flavor, creating a delightful taste. Due to the bulging filling, customers can hold it directly by hand, giving it a rustic charm, although some customers may not prefer the firmer skin of the filling.
