Ba-wan
Taiwan · East Asia
Ba wan is a Taiwanese filled snack with a starch-based outer layer, particularly associated with Changhua. The city office’s account of A-Zhang Ba Wan records a filling of pork, bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms. The named shop uses sweet-potato starch mixed with water for its outer layer.[1]
At A-Zhang, the bamboo shoots come from Dakeng in Taichung, shiitake mushrooms from Puli and sweet-potato starch from Shanhua in Tainan. The filled pieces are cooked in animal fat before removal for serving.[1]
