One Ball Soul (Sweet Potato Balls) Hualien Flower Shop. [Hualien City Eats] One Ball Soul | Crispy Outside, Chewy Inside, Snack for After School, Why Does This Downtown Stall Selling Sweet Potato Balls Call Itself "One Ball Soul"? [Hualien City Delicacies] Yiqiu Ru Hun | Crispy Outside, Chewy Inside, A Perfect Snack After School. Why does a stall selling sweet potato balls have a name like "Yiqiu Ru Hun" (One Ball, Soul Infused), which sounds so baseball-related? Because the owner used to love playing baseball and would always visit the Hualien Giant Dome Dexing Stadium for games. That's why the logo was also related to baseball back then. After a renovation, a friend redesigned the logo, and it became the current cute image of a bull-boy eating delicious sweet potato balls. We use Taiwan's best sweet potato variety – the yellow-fleshed Tainong No. 57, which is the sweetest and best for steaming. We use our hands to control the texture and temperature, kneading the best sweet potato dough. We add tapioca starch and a secret recipe in proportion, shaping them into dough balls. After continuous research and development, they have a rich aroma and a sweet, chewy taste. We refrigerate them and take them out to fry when selling. Of course, achieving that chewy texture requires skill, and temperature control is crucial. They are repeatedly fried in oil at alternating high and low temperatures, and after a few presses, the golden, round sweet potato balls pop out of the pot. The chewy texture of these sweet potato balls makes them the perfect snack for leisure time. "Yiqiu Ru Hun" on Zhongshan Road is a unique Hualien specialty snack. A gathering of a family
