Tshau A Kue (草仔粿) Mugwort Rice Cake





Tshau a kue (草仔粿) (Taiwanese: tsháu á kué), mugwort rice cake, is a traditional sweet made of glutinous rice. It tastes just like mua tsi (麻糬, mochi) but the skin is green, which is made of mugwort, a kind of grass that has a fresh smell. In addition, tshau a kue has sweet and savory fillings. The sweet one usually is red bean paste, which is also a popular flavor for mua tsi. The savory tshau a kue is the classic one, which has salted shredded daikon radish inside. Tshau a kue used to be the offering when people worship gods or goddesses or celebrate festivals. Nowadays it becomes more common. You can find tshau a kue in traditional markets or in the 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.
