Hi lea,
Unfortunately I have never made the particular fried chicken you are talking about. I think the spice mix that they use is available in Taiwan, but I can't remember the name of it!
Best of luck, and sorry I couldn't help more!

This is my favorite food to eat when we visit family in Taiwan. I have not been able to find an authentic tasting Taiwanese meatball in any restaurants here-they seem to be gamey tasting. Perhaps they were frozen and not freshly made. I am so happy to find this recipe. Thank you!

Someone recommended your site and this bawan recipe is what I have been looking for. I am from Taiwan and my wife is Caucasian. I did not know how to describe this dish to her. I guess Taiwanese Meatball will have to do. There is another dish that is a street vendor dish. It is a sweet riceball, about size of mango but they put stuffing inside, but it is eaten like a dessert.

I've never heard of sweet potato flour. I'll have to look more into it!

Seems like a lot of work to make on an occasional basis at home but I can tell the end result is totally worth it. Really enjoying these recent Taiwanese posts! Thanks so much!
