The oyster omelette (o-a-tsian) is a Southern Min dish of small oysters in a starchy egg batter, usually with sweet potato starch, topped with a savory sauce.
The oyster omelette is a dish of Southern Min origin, from the Hokkien and Teochew communities, and it is popular in Taiwan. The Hokkien style uses chicken eggs and a batter of sweet potato flour with tapioca or corn starch, which gives it a chewy texture. Yuan Huan Bian at Ningxia Night Market has been making its omelettes since 1965, with oysters from Tainan drizzled in a homemade sweet hot sauce, and the Michelin Guide recognizes it. Shilin Night Market also lists the oyster omelet among its famous foods.
