Hsinchu Pork Meatballs (Gongwan)

In the early days, pork meatballs in the Hsinchu region were traditionally made by hand using wooden mallets to repeatedly pound the pork, creating a firm and bouncy texture. As this process relied entirely on manual labor, production was extremely limited. At that time, meat was considered a luxury ingredient, making these meatballs a rare and highly valued local delicacy.

With the advancement of modern technology, mechanical production methods have been introduced, allowing precise control over temperature, hygiene, and raw materials. This not only increases production efficiency but also ensures consistent size and quality. Upholding the traditional pursuit of quality, our facility carefully selects premium Taiwanese pork, specifically the hind leg cut known for its excellent elasticity. Seasoned simply, the meatballs retain the natural sweetness and original flavor of the pork, delivering a clean and authentic taste.

This product is part of our correctional facility’s self-operated work program. Under professional supervision and standardized procedures, incarcerated individuals participate in the production process as part of vocational training. Through hands-on experience, they develop practical skills, a sense of responsibility, and disciplined work habits, helping them prepare for successful reintegration into society. Each meatball represents not only craftsmanship and quality, but also effort, learning, and a step toward a new beginning.

Using modern vacuum-sealing and freezing technology, combined with convenient home delivery services, this product allows customers across Taiwan to enjoy the unique and distinctive flavor of Hsinchu—where traditional culinary heritage meets contemporary quality control and social responsibility.
