📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Its Chinese name humorously means 'big intestine wraps small intestine': glutinous rice steamed in sausage form is split lengthwise like a hot dog bun and filled with a sweet-savory Taiwanese sausage. It's topped with chopped garlic, suan cai (fermented mustard greens), and a sweet-savory sauce — a night-market specialty.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a Shilin Night Market stall, the chewy rice sausage is split open and filled with sausage and condiments on the spot.
