jc,
the pepper and vinegar helps brings out the taste of the strawberries. You can do without the vinegar but the pepper is a must! :)

anonymous,
are you asking for a recipe or just want to know how it's made? It's made with glutinous rice flour, sugar, mung beans, coconut, sesame seeds, and deep fried in hot oil.
