It's very critical to control the steaming process while making cold ball, if you steam too long, cold balls will became liquid. When summer coming, you can put the cold ball into refrigerator and it taste better.
The souse of the cold ball is made from soy souse and garlic. When put the spicy of the garlic and the smooth of the cold ball together, it just taste excellent. Not only old customers but also people from north Taiwan go there to buy cold ball. Because it's so soft and cool, elders like to eat them especially in summer.
