Tube rice pudding (Chinese: 筒仔米糕; pinyin: Tǒng zǐ mǐ gāo; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: tâng-á-bí-ko) is a Taiwanese dish consisting of a stir-fried glutinous rice mixture that is seasoned and steamed in a bamboo tube. Tube rice pudding is a cylindrical shape caused by the steaming process in a tube.[1] Though regionally variable, the dish is typically served with shiitake, minced pork shallots, and complemented by sweet chili sauce.[2] The dish is considered one of the national dishes of Taiwan and was featured on the 40 of the best Taiwanese foods and drinks by CNN Travel.[3]
