Ba-Wan is a large, translucent dumpling with a chewy outer shell made from a mix of rice flour, sweet potato starch, and cornstarch, filled with a savory mix of pork, bamboo shoots, and shiitake mushrooms. Originating from Changhua, Taiwan, Ba-Wan is typically steamed, then lightly pan-fried or deep-fried, and served drenched in a sweet soy-based sauce. Its jelly-like texture and rich filling make it a popular snack in night markets and traditional snack shops across the island.

Common variations include fillings with chicken, egg, or using garlic soy paste for extra punch.
