In general, we eat "meat rice tamales" to celebrate Taiwan Dragon Boat Festival (5/5 lunar month).What is Tamales?
It's a Mexican food. Tamales begin with a dough made from corn, called masa, and are wrapped in corn husks. In Taiwan, we use sticky rice to instead of masa and are wrapped in bamboo leaves. And then typically steamed them until firm.
Tamales are a favorite comfort food in Taiwan. Street vendors can serve tamales not only in Dragon boat festival but everyday. Usually, they serve 2 flavors, one is with meat, salty egg yolk, and mushrooms and the other one is with peanuts for vegetarians.
