Fan Tuan aka the greatest taiwanese breakfast... ever
This is a family recipe adapted with some of my favorite night market stand in Taiwan. Guaranteed to satisfy any breakfast and asian craving you have. You need this...
Recipe:
- Sweet Rice (3 cups)
- Water (2 cups+)
- Fried Dough Stick | Youtiao (2 sticks)
- Preserved Sour Mustard (as needed) (Sugar, Sesame oil, vegetable oil needed)
- Preserved Radish (as needed)
- Scallions (1 stalk)
- Pork Floss (as needed)
- Eggs (4 large)
- Bao Bei Chili Oil (as needed)
1. Wash sweet rice and cook in a rice cooker. Make sure you're using about a 2/3 ratio of water to rice inside the rice cooker. Leave aside until needed
2. Cut Fried dough sticks, dice sour mustard and scallions.
a. Bake fried dough stick on a medium heat (300°f-350°f) for a couple of minutes until crispy
b. Pan fry the sour mustard with some sesame oil and vegetable oil on a medium high heat until browned. Add a touch of water, continue to cook then add a pinch of sugar. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
c. Assemble all the ingredients as needed
3. Wrap a small wet towel in saran wrap (plastic wrap) very tightly to use as our shaper. Drop in 1-3 scoops of rice depending on how big you want it. Push downwards flat and layer on ingredients as needed.
Take the bottom of the towel and roll upwards, tucking the rice in. Pick up the towel and roll the sides into an oval shape. Make small adjustments as needed ensuring everything is secure in a ball shape. Add more rice as needed.
4. Serve in plastic wrap or plastic bag as the rice is a little bit sticky. Enjoy~
