Mi Tai Mu (米苔目) Thick Rice Noodles (Soup)

Mi tai mu (米苔目) (pinyin with tones: mǐ tái mù), thick rice noodles (soup), looks like noodles but is made from rice flour, glutinous rice flour, and tapioca flour. Mi tai mu usually contains minced pork and some vegetables like leeks or bean sprouts; it can be made with or without soup. When talking about mi tai mu, most people will think of Taitung (台東), which is famous for its savory mi tai mu sprinkled with bonito flakes, one of Taitung’s specialties.

Variety Of Mi Tai Mu (米苔目)

Mi tai mu can be made into salty or sweet, hot or cold, with soup or dried dishes. Roughly speaking, people in the south of Taiwan usually eat salty mi tai mu with minced pork on it, which can be cooked with or without soup. On the contrary, people in the north and middle of Taiwan are used to having mi tai mu as a sweet, usually with tshuah ping (剉冰, shaved ice), dou hua (豆花, tofu pudding), or xian cao (仙草, grass jelly). But this is not absolute correct because you still can see sweet mi tai mu in the south and salty mi tai mu in the north. Just like I personally like salty mi tai mu but I grew up in north of Taiwan.
