阿英紅糟肉圓

Jiufen's red yeast rice meatballs are made by mixing rice flour with starch to make a paste, then making a base on the mold, adding marinated meat pieces and then using the paste to wrap the dough. The whole process is like a mason's meticulous craftsmanship. Put the meatballs into the steamer and steam them until cooked, then mix them with seasonings to make red yeast rice meatballs. The most famous one in Jiufen is Aying's.

Red fermented rice dumpling is also a delicacy in Jiufen. Ah Ying's is the most popular one. This meat dumpling looks very beautiful. If two people buy one, just try it. It feels like meat dumpling. The filling is pork, red fermented rice and bamboo shoots. The taste is a matter of personal preference.

I've been to Jiufen so many times, and this is the first time I've eaten red yeast rice balls. I came here specially to eat them because I don't eat breakfast. They tasted good [snickering]

The store is very careful about the production process and the selection of ingredients. For example, the red yeast meatballs are made by hand, from making and fermenting the red yeast to wrapping the meatballs. The red yeast must be fermented in autumn and sealed after fermentation. The meat in the meatballs is made of top-quality sandwich meat, which is soaked in red yeast to make it taste good. It has a delicate taste and is not too tough. Several spices are also added, such as five-spice powder, star anise powder, pepper powder, cinnamon powder, etc.

When I came to Jiufen, I had to eat their meatballs. The red rice wine meatballs are also considered to be the specialty. If you are not used to it, you can try it. I also ordered squid balls and sausages, both of which are made with red rice wine. They are quite fragrant, but I don’t like the meatballs. I still like the squid balls, which have visible grains. The sausages are also delicious. The attitude is very good. They also sell various health foods made with red rice wine. . .
