O a jian is the Hokkien-Taiwanese oyster omelette: gummy sweet-potato-starch batter folded around small oysters and eggs, glossed with sweet pink sauce.
Oyster omelette arrived in Taipei with Hokkien settlers from Fujian in the 1700s, evolving in Taiwan from a humble seafood dish into a night-market hero. The gummy texture comes from sweet-potato starch beaten into the egg. Tainan-coast oysters dominate, smaller and sweeter than Pacific varieties. Yuan Huan Bian at Ningxia Night Market has been frying them since 1965, the canonical Taipei version, slightly gooey rather than crisp.
