Youchuan Fried Rice Dumplings

Youchuan Fried Rice Dumplings

　　Preparation: The prepared rice batter is deep-fried in two stages using a specially designed round spoon. Before the first frying, half of the rice batter is poured into the container and then the spoon, along with the batter, is placed in the hot oil until the batter is mostly set. Then, a filling made of chopped scallions, minced meat, red beans, and rice is added, and the spoon is covered with more batter before continuing to fry until fully cooked.

　　 Characteristics: The finished product has a golden color, with a crispy outer layer and tender, savory filling, offering a sweet, sour, and slightly spicy flavor. It can be enjoyed on its own or pairs exceptionally well with Youchuan soybean milk powder.

　　 Tip: For the best flavor, the dumplings must be fried over a traditional wood-fired stove.
