Instructions

  1. [Prep/Usage]

  3. [Huasheng Juan Bingqilin] The absolute base of Yilan's crazy sweet: mountain-heap Hua Sheng Fen on a crepe, top with taro ice cream and 'cilantro (Xiangcai)', then wrap.
  4. [Zhu Xue Gao] Brush sweet/spicy soy sauce on hot steamed 'pig's blood cake', coat seamlessly with this sweet Hua Sheng Fen, and eat on a skewer.

Mix sugar and crushed peanuts into Japanese Kinako (roasted soybean flour)

Trivia

[For Everyone] Rooted as deeply in Taiwan's sweet culture as 'Kinako' is in Japan's. Peanut oil makes it moister and far more savory than Kinako. Shows genius power not just in sweets, but in producing 'sweet/salty (Xian Tian)' effects when paired with salty dishes like pig's blood (Zhu Xue Gao) or braised pork (Gua Bao).

Eating tips & etiquette

[Unique Eating] When making Taiwanese Gua Bao (Taiwanese burger), sandwiching massive 'sweet Hua Sheng Fen' and cilantro along with braised pork belly is an unbreakable Taiwanese rule!
