Zongzi (Rice Dumpling)

Zongzi is a beloved festival staple now available year-round, with each bamboo-leaf-wrapped bundle containing a savory mix of sticky rice, pork, mushroom, and chestnut. Its unique cooking method—steamed for 3 hours in bamboo leaves—infuses a subtle herbal aroma that the average rice-based street food lacks, setting it apart as a distinctly Taiwanese comfort food.
