WHAT IS EIGHT TREASURE RICE Eight treasure rice pudding is a traditional Taiwanese New Year dessert. The name “Eight Treasure’ comes from the “eight” key ingredients that this delicious dessert has. Traditionally Chinese people use eight different kinds of dried fruits to make this dessert, such as raisins or candied winter melon. Depending on where you are located it might be difficult for you to get hold of eight different kinds of dried or candied fruit, so this recipe only calls for five that should be easily found at your local Taiwanese or regular supermarket. Some other dried fruits you can consider using for this dessert are dates, red and green shredded plums, jackfruit or even dried longan pulp.
