Oyster vermicelli oroyster misua (traditional Chinese: 蚵仔麵線;Taiwanese Hokkien: ô-á mī-sòaⁿ) is a kind ofnoodle soup originating inTaiwan.[1] Its main ingredients areoysters andmisua (Chinesevermicelli). One of the famous places serving this is inDihua Street,Dadaocheng,Taipei.[citation needed] A tan-brown variety of vermicelli used for this dish is made primarily with wheat flour and salt, and gains its unique colour due to a steaming process that darkens the sugars in the dough, allowing it to be cooked for longer periods without breaking down.[2]
An alternative is vermicelli with large intestine, in which oysters are substituted with small segments of pig'slarge intestine.
