Formosan food traditions
Taiwanese cuisine is the cooking tradition of Taiwan, blending Fujianese and Hakka Chinese influences with Japanese elements from colonial rule and indigenous island ingredients.
Street food dominates: beef noodle soup, bubble tea, gua bao (steamed pork belly buns), and stinky tofu.
The cuisine emphasizes fresh seafood, rice, pork, and bold flavors from soy, sesame, and fermented ingredients.
