Sticky rice and Chinese mushrooms are fried with seasoning and stuffed into a bamboo tube together with pork and egg. The tube of rice is steamed again to further soften the texture until it becomes a cylindrical pudding.
Da Qiao Tou started making its rice pudding in a stall under a bridge more than four decades ago. The business has since expanded but the rice pudding has stayed the same. It's best when topped with the homemade turnip-laced sweet and spicy sauce.
