Mua Lau (麻粩) Rice Puff With Sesame

 


 

Mua lau (麻粩or麻荖) (Taiwanese: muâ láu) is a traditional sweet which is basically made of taro flour and glutinous rice flour. After the kneaded dough ferments and expands after being deep fried, it will be coated with maltose and white sesame. If it is coated with bi phang (米香, poprice), then it will be bi lau (米粩, rice puff with poprice); if it is coated with peanut powder, it will be thoo tau lau (土豆粩or花生粩, rice puff with peanut powder).

 

Tradition Of Mua Lau (麻粩)

Traditionally we serve mua lau as offering for worshiping gods, goddesses, or ancestors in certain festivals or Chinese New Year. It costs time and efforts to make mua lau, so people did not have it in ordinary days. Now that the quality of life improves, mua lau becomes popular. You can find it in specialty shops, traditional markets, or old streets.

Hi, I’m Mosa. This name is taken from the latter words of Formosa, the former name of Taiwan in 16th century which means “beautiful island.” Indeed, Taiwan does have ravishing natural landscapes and diverse cultures worth exploring. However, there is no much access for foreigners to learn more about Taiwanese culture in English. Here in TAIWANBOW. 臺灣飽典 I started by introducing Taiwanese food to arouse people’s attention to Taiwan since Taiwan has been voted as the country with the best food*. I hope that through this website I can make some contribution to Taiwan, where I was born and grew up.
