Cuisine_of_China
There are several cuisines in Taiwan. In addition to the following representative dishes from the Ho-lo ethnicity (see Taiwanese language), there are also Taiwanese aborigine|aboriginal, Hakka cuisine|Hakka, and local derivatives of Chinese cuisines (one famous example of the last is beef noodle soup = 牛肉麵 = ni?r?u mi?n = g?-bah mī).




Pork, rice, soy are very common ingredients. Beef is far less common, and some Taiwanese still refrain from eating it. This is in part due to a traditional reluctance to slaughtering precious cattle needed for agriculture, and an emotional attachment to such beasts of labour.

Desserts

  • bubble tea, aka boba milk tea

  • sian-chh?u (仙草, xiān cǎo) - Mesona procumbens Hemsley (also known as Grass Jelly)

  • ?-gi?-peng (愛玉冰, ?i y? bīng) - a gelatinous dessert made from the seeds of a fig-like fruit, probably Ficus pumila L. var. awkeotsang. Served on ice.

  • ō-?-peng (芋冰, y? bīng) - a dessert made of frozen taro root paste.


Many of the non-dessert dishes are usually considered snacks, not entrees; that is, they have a similar status to the Cantonese dim sum or the Spanish tapas. Such dishes are usually only slightly salted, with lots of vegetables along with the main meat (or seafood) item.

Vegetarian restaurants are commonplace with a wide variety of dishes.

There is a type of out-door Bar-BQ called khòng-iâu (焢窯). To barbecue in this manner, first build a hollow pyramid with up dirt clods. Next, burn some charcoal or wood inside until the internal temperature inside the pyramid is very high (the dirt clods should be glowing red). Finally, place some taros, yam, or chicken in cans in the pyramid and topple the pyramid over the food. Keep the items under the hot dirt clods until they are thoroughly cooked.

Taiwanese people also eat a lot of fruit, both local and imported.




Taiwan's best-known snacks are present in the night markets. Stinky tofu (臭豆腐, ch?u d?u fǔ) is one example; stinky tofu is intimidating at first but can be an acquired taste. In these markets, one can also find delicious fried and steamed meat-filled buns, oyster-filled omelets, refreshing fruit ices, and much more.
