Shataogong Vegetable Sticky Rice Dumpling Introduction
In Tainan, the "vegetarian zongzi" refers to a rice dumpling made with peanut filling wrapped in pandan leaves, which is a common breakfast food. Lao Zheng's vegetarian zongzi has a unique feature: it does not include peanut powder. Lao Zheng says that their peanuts and glutinous rice are top-quality ingredients, and adding peanut powder would mask the original flavors of the ingredients. Moreover, not including peanut powder enhances the fragrance of the pandan leaves. A simple zongzi paired with miso soup is a beautiful morning scene in Tainan.
