Trivia
[For Youth] A staple ingredient 'Sudu' always sold alongside real offal at hugely popular 'Luwei' stalls in Taiwan night markets. Being a mass of wheat protein (gluten), it has intense elasticity like real meat, and absorbs sauce better than real offal. Zero-fat late-night super-spicy junk meal for dieters to get full.
