紅 關公 白 劉備 黑 張飛 走 去 避 |
Red Guang5gong1, white Lao5bi5, and black Di5hui1 have all gone and hid themselves. Actually a riddle to name a bun. When there is a festival in Taiwan, you will see this kind of buns. The skin is red, and under the skin is white bread, with bean stuffing that has been cooked and made into a black paste. And again, there are two styles: the leavened-bread style and the unleavened-bread style. The leavened-bread style resembles the western style bread and comes in only one flavor; the unleavened-bread style is more traditional and the buns are often stamped to resemble a turtle and often come in different flavors. By the way, the traditional way of making bread is to steam, not to bake. |
