Description
O-ah-jian (Hokkien): oyster omelette of Taiwanese and Fujianese street food culture. Fresh oysters mixed into a sweet potato starch slurry, pan-fried until parts are crispy and parts are gelatinous and soft, topped with egg and a sweet chili sauce. The deliberate contrast of textures — crispy, chewy, soft — is the signature.
