Yu Wan(魚丸) Fish Ball

 

Yu Wan(魚丸) Fish Ball

 

Yu wan (魚丸/鱼丸) (pinyin with tones: yú wán), fish ball, is just like gong wan (貢丸, pork ball) but is made of fish. Common fish balls on the market are not specified what kind of fish is used, but shi mu yu wan (虱目魚丸/虱目鱼丸, milkfish ball) is the exception. Another interesting thing is that yu wan in Tamsui (淡水) is quite distinctive.

 

Tamsui (淡水) Yu Wan

Yu wan sold in Tamsui, or sometimes called Tamsui yu wan, is slightly different from other yu wan. Tamsui yu wan looks more like an ellipsoid rather than a sphere; besides, it contains minced pork inside, so it has more layers of flavor. Tamsui yu wan is also created due to abundant fish harvest as yu su (魚酥, fish crisp) does. Now yu wan tang (魚丸湯, fish ball soup) becomes a must-eat dish in Tamsui.

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.
