📖 The Story Behind This Dish

A defining street food of Taiwan's night markets. The chewy potato-starch batter binds the oysters and egg into a dish crisp outside and gooey within. The sweet-savory sauce recipe varies by stall, and is often what separates a good vendor from a great one.

🌆 Where it's eaten: Best enjoyed fresh off the griddle at a night market stall.
