Following the launch of “Wusha Pancake House,” the Yinsui Group has introduced its second brand, “Dan Dan Sui Dumpling Specialty Shop,” which debuted on July 15 at Taipei’s Beijing Station Fashion Plaza. Blending Chinese culinary traditions with modern Japanese aesthetics, they have created thin-skinned, juicy Japanese-style pan-fried dumplings. Emphasizing daily handmade and freshly pan-fried preparation, they aim to make ‘dumplings’ an everyday yet deeply nostalgic national dish.

The crispy pan-fried dumplings at Dan Dan Sui are the result of meticulous attention to every step of the process. The optimal golden moment to enjoy them is within 10 minutes of serving, when their crispy texture, thin skin, and juiciness deliver a perfect explosion of fresh, layered flavors.

Because the dough has a unique formulation, factors such as thickness and elasticity require technical precision. The filling is carefully selected from high-quality Japanese-export-grade pork hind leg meat, known for its leanness and firm texture, combined with sweet alpine cabbage and Chinese chives, infusing all the umami-rich nutrients. The pan-frying process requires precise control of temperature and moisture levels to ensure even cooking. What seems like a simple dish actually involves sophisticated cooking techniques to achieve that thin, juicy, and crispy pan-fried dumpling.

In addition, to promote balanced nutrition and health, Dan Dan Sui has developed starch-free vegetarian dishes. One visually rice-like but actually cauliflower-based healthy dish offers the appearance of fried rice. Made with locally sourced, daily fresh ingredients, it provides all the nutrition needed for the day, allowing diners to enjoy a hearty meal without any guilt.

Dan Dan Sui’s signature braised dishes are crafted with care, using a selection of traditional Chinese medicinal spices. Each herb’s unique characteristics and flavor profiles were carefully considered before choosing 17 types to create a richly colored, lingeringly savory master braising sauce. During the braising process, each spice is released and harmonized, allowing the fresh ingredients to fully absorb the flavors. The final result is a perfect balance of saltiness and richness, with deep, unforgettable aroma.
