Join TaiwaneseAmerican.org’s Atlanta-based staff, Grace and Liz, as they visit with Taiwanese American Professionals – San Francisco / Bay area members during a bah-tzang (zong-zi) making workshop! Can these 2nd generation folks with little experience in this culinary art form be taught how to make one of our most popular and favorite Taiwanese foods? Watch the video and find out!
The bah-tzang is a delicious traditional Taiwanese (and Chinese) comfort food made with sticky rice and meat wrapped in bamboo leaves, which imparts a unique flavor as it is steamed to perfection! The process is as simple as “wrap, steam, serve!” A recipe is included in the video, too!

This is great! I have MANY favorite foods from Taiwan that my mother used to cook all the time. I used to help her wrap zong zi as a child. This brings back so many great memories. It also gave me the idea to have such a workshop at our Chinese school! Thank you so much for posting this.
