Chao Dong Fen (炒冬粉) Stir-Fried Glass Noodles

 



 

Chao dong fen (炒冬粉) (pinyin with tones: chǎo dōng fěn) is a common dish of dong fen (冬粉, cellophane noodles / glass noodles) which looks like transparent noodles. Chao dong fěn usually contains shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, shredded shiikate mushrooms, dried shrimps, and shredded pork or minced pork. The dark brown color of chao dong fěn is from soy sauce. You can find chao dong fen at food stands in traditional markets or near temples. This kind of stands sometimes sell you fan (油飯, steamed sticky rice) as well.

In restaurants, chao dong fen is named ma yi shang shu (螞蟻上樹, ants climbing a tree) because the minced pork is like ants while the glass noodles are like branches.

Hi, I’m Mosa. This name is taken from the latter words of Formosa, the former name of Taiwan in 16th century which means “beautiful island.” Indeed, Taiwan does have ravishing natural landscapes and diverse cultures worth exploring. However, there is no much access for foreigners to learn more about Taiwanese culture in English. Here in TAIWANBOW. 臺灣飽典 I started by introducing Taiwanese food to arouse people’s attention to Taiwan since Taiwan has been voted as the country with the best food*. I hope that through this website I can make some contribution to Taiwan, where I was born and grew up.
