Pork Blood Sausage Scallion Roll | Yilan Signature Dish

The pork blood sausage scallion rolls at Luodong Night Market combine the sharp fragrance of Sanxing scallions with the savory sweetness of glutinous-rice pork blood sausage, all wrapped in thin flatbread into a bite-sized roll — a combination found only at Luodong Night Market. The old A-Zao Bo stall has been guarding this recipe for decades; as night falls, the scallion aroma grows even stronger.

What is Pork Blood Sausage Scallion Roll?

Pork blood sausage is made by filling pork intestine with glutinous rice, pig blood, and seasonings, then steaming it. Sliced into sections, it has a springy, chewy glutinous rice texture with the characteristic iron-sweet richness of pork blood. The scallion roll component pairs sections of Sanxing scallion with the pork blood sausage, wraps them in thin flatbread or spring roll skin, drizzles with sauce, rolls it tightly, and cuts it into pieces. Sanxing scallions have large, thick stalks and a strong aroma; their sharpness contrasts with the savory-sweetness of the blood sausage. The scallion is as much a star as the sausage, and the quantity of scallion is visibly greater than in typical scallion rolls.

This street food is a locally evolved version specific to Luodong Night Market, combining Yilan's most famous agricultural product — Sanxing scallion — with traditional pork blood sausage to form a combination supplied exclusively by Luodong Night Market vendors. A-Zao Bo and other established stall operators can be looked up in the Luodong Township Office's night market vendor registry. The Yilan County Tourism Bureau's night market food guides have long included this item, and several local food blogs have documented it in detail.

How to eat it like a local

🧅

The scallion has to be in every biteThe whole point of the scallion roll is the pungent kick of the Sanxing scallion itself. If a night-market version is skimping on scallion, ask the vendor to add more scallion pieces.

🌙

Go after the stalls open in the eveningLuodong Night Market stalls start opening from around 5 p.m. The peak hours of 6 to 9 p.m. see the busiest trade, and the old stalls' ingredients are freshest during this window.

🍶

Dip in sweet chili saucePork blood sausage scallion rolls are typically served with sweet chili sauce. The sweet-heat balance highlights the layers of the blood sausage; eating without sauce still lets the scallion flavor come through.

🔄

Eat while it's still rolled tightThe flatbread wrapping tends to crack once it cools. Eat it right after you receive it for the best texture; if the wrapper softens, the whole structure becomes less satisfying.
