oyster omelet
Taiwan · East Asia
Taiwanese oyster omelet combines oysters, egg, greens and a sweet-potato-starch mixture in a pan-fried dish. The starch slurry cooks around the oysters, giving the omelet a soft texture alongside the egg and browned surfaces. A savoury-sweet sauce is poured over it before serving.[1]
The sauce is one point of variation between cooks. In MICHELIN’s interview with Dingba Taiwanese in Hong Kong, the owner describes mixing his oyster-omelet sauce himself from six ingredients instead of using a ready-made sauce. The account does not disclose that mixture’s recipe.[2]
