Dongshi Shui Jian Bao Introduction
Located at the intersection of Road 166 and Road 168, next to the Dongshi Farmers' Association, this vibrant area is bustling with people. Several food stalls have set up shop here, taking advantage of the business opportunities. One of these is Lü Han-hsiung's (born 1958) water-fried bun stall. For his livelihood, Lü comes to this location every afternoon to sell water-fried buns, making it a well-known snack stall in the Dongshi area. The dough for Dongshi water-fried buns is made from all-purpose flour, and the filling consists of pork, cabbage, glass noodles, carrots, and leeks. The preparation method is as follows: the pork is cooked with soy oil until tender and set aside. Cabbage, carrots, and leeks are chopped, and mixed with the cooked pork and glass noodles. When ready to sell, flour is mixed with water and kneaded into strips. Small pieces are then flattened and filled with the mixture, creating the buns. A little oil is added to a frying pan, the buns are placed in, and water starch is drizzled on top. They are pan-fried on both sides for about 10 minutes before being set aside. Customers can purchase them packed for takeaway. Except for the filling, which must be pre-cooked at home, everything is made fresh, fried, and sold at the stall on the day itself until sold out, ensuring the Dongshi water-fried buns are fresh and well-received.
