廖桑手作油飯 is a Taiwanese eatery in the Jiangzicui area of Banqiao, New Taipei, about two or three minutes on foot from exit 5 of 江子翠站 (Jiangzicui Station). It scales labor-intensive banquet-hall dishes down to individual portions. The chef has over ten years of banquet-chef experience, and alongside the signature sticky rice offers Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, slow-cooked soups, and folded steamed buns. It suits solo diners wanting banquet dishes, families, and lovers of traditional Taiwanese flavors.
● Signature Savory Sticky Rice
Signature Savory Sticky Rice uses Yunlin long-grain sticky rice soaked overnight, stir-fried with shiitake mushrooms, dried shrimp, shredded pork, traditional naturally brewed soy sauce, and crisp shallots. The grains are springy and chewy, neither mushy nor greasy, with mushrooms, shrimp, and shallots opening up the savory aromas. It is flavorful as served; sweet chili sauce, spicy dried radish, or chilies can add another layer.
● Scallop Buddha Jumps Over the Wall
Scallop Buddha Jumps Over the Wall has been a representative dish since the shop's early days. Its individual pot brings together over ten ingredients, including scallops, fish maw, and fish skin. The broth is rich, and slow-cooked ingredients absorb it; each spoonful reveals substantial fillings. A banquet centerpiece contained in a single-serving pot, it pairs well with sticky rice. Rice alongside soup makes the shop's banquet-cooking foundation especially clear.
● Chinese Yam, Clam and Chicken Soup
Chinese Yam, Clam and Chicken Soup slow-cooks a chicken leg with Japanese yam, small oyster mushrooms, and clams. The clear broth is fragrant and refreshing, contrasting with rich Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Chicken leg supplies meaty aroma, yam and mushrooms add a gentle, rounded texture, and clams bring umami. Pair this pot with sticky rice if you prefer a lighter slow-cooked soup.
● Braised Pork with Preserved Mustard Greens and Steamed Buns
Braised Pork with Preserved Mustard Greens and Steamed Buns pairs glossy pork with preserved mustard greens and folded buns. The pork has springy skin and tender meat, while the greens and sauce bring deep savory flavor. Tucked into a fluffy bun, the bread absorbs the juices and helps balance the pork fat. Add pork and greens together for the full flavor and texture.
Start with Signature Savory Sticky Rice and a soup pot: Scallop Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for richness, or Chinese Yam, Clam and Chicken Soup for a lighter fragrance. With more people, add Braised Pork with Preserved Mustard Greens and Steamed Buns to share. Sweet chili sauce and spicy dried radish noticeably change the rice's flavor, so try a few bites plain before adding either.
