What is better than having authentic Taiwanese food? Cooking it yourself! For those who enjoy good, healthy food, without the layer of grease (the so-called 'essence' of road-side vendors), this might just be your choice of Chinese 'fast food'. Indulge yourself in the freshly-made Chinese dumplings at the DaJong Dumplings vendor located at the hygienic SanMin Traditional Market. At NT$2 per dumpling, these flour-wrapped, bite-size treats come with a pork filling and a choice of either cabbage or leek. The friendly owner makes them on the spot and packs them in polystyrene boxes for easy storage in the freezer. When you're ready, simply take them out of the freezer (do not defrost!) and lower them into a big pot of boiling water. When it boils, wait another minute before adding a cup of tap water and bring it to the boil again. Repeat this once more before the dumplings are ready. These scrumptious dumplings are convenient as a meal or a light snack and taste great with soy sauce or simply on their own!
