Question
When I visited my mother's family in Taiwan, there was a breakfast item called fan tuan that I used to buy in the market every morning.  It's a big rice ball with sushi-type fillings: egg, ro song, maybe taku-ang (Japanese pickled radish), and I can't remember what else because it's been so long.  It seems like it would be relatively easy to make but I can't seem to find anywhere online instructions on how to make it.  Any hints on where to look?

Answer
hello Jamie!
ne how, glad to hear my fallow country lady is asking me question
did  you know I'am from Taiwan too? I miss Fan Tuan so much I can tast it right now. the fan tuan that I like has ro song,yu tuao
and tsi boa sometime I like the sweet version of it. I'AM SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU but I don't think you can get the instructions online
that's our ancent chinese secret lets keep it that way.I don't know
what state you live in but I believe LA,Houston,NYC all have people
sell them just go buy it it's quicker that what I would do.
