If you've ever been in Hong Kong or Macau or Guangdong, you've probably run into these little snacks. These fish paste stuffed vegetable treats have evolved over the years to become a popular and long standing street side snack, usually skewered to allow you to eat the snack right there in the street.
I really love these snacks and rather mourn the fact that, nowadays, they are rather hard to find done in the old-fashioned tasty way, meaning pan fried rather than deep fried. Most street vendors have them precooked and waiting around all day and then just stick it in the hot oil to heat it up after you order. Um...not too fresh, nor tasty as a matter of fact.
So we decided to make our own the traditional way, stuffed and pan fried Three Stuffed Treasures 煎釀三寶, a delectable treat that celebrates the original sweet tastiness of the fresh vegetables while a stuffing of fragrant tangerine peel infused fish paste provides just the right contrast of texture and taste.
