O A Chao Dan (蚵仔炒蛋) Scrambled Eggs With Oyster

O A Chao Dan (蚵仔炒蛋) Scrambled Eggs With Oyster
 



O a chao dan (蚵仔炒蛋) (ô á chǎo dàn), also called o a jian dan (蚵仔煎蛋), is scrambled eggs or fired eggs fried with oysters. It is a dish you can find in re chao dian (熱炒店, stir fry restaurants) or easily make at home. Unlike o a tsian (蚵仔煎, oyster omelette), which contains potato starch or sweet potato flour hence is a little bit sticky and chewy, o a dan simply has eggs and oysters which then has a tender taste. Another similar cuisine is hua dan xia ren (滑蛋蝦仁, scrambled eggs with shrimp) or called xia ren chao dan (蝦仁炒蛋). They both add seafood into stir-fried eggs.


How To Pronounce O A (蚵仔)?

It is interesting that Taiwanese people always pronounce o a (蚵仔, oyster) in Taiwanese. We don’t pronounce the Taiwanese-to-Chinese word “蚵仔, é zǐ,” nor the formal Chinese word of oyster “牡蠣, mǔ lì.” Therefore, when we say “ô á tsian,” it is always in Taiwanese, but for the others like xia ren jian and hua zhi jian, are in Chinese.

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.
