Introducing
another delicious but lesser known Taiwanese dish – Taiwanese Style Seafood
& Noodles Stir-Fry 台式海鮮炒麵
Taiwan
is an island in the Pacific Ocean with a strong fishing heritage, so Taiwanese
people eat seafood a lot and love it so much. Seafood & noodles stir-fry is
a very common and stable dish that you can order at roadside markets or local
restaurants, the ingredients usually consist of various types of seafood
together such as prawns, squid or octopus, sometimes with pork strips. (海陸炒麵)
Since
I just bought a pack of squid legs from my local butcher, I decided to replicate
this local well-loved Taiwanese cuisine at home. It’s saucy, satisfying to eat,
full of umami; the squid legs tasted great with sweet and svoury flavour and I
do love it! Just can’t wait to make it again soon.
I
referred to the recipe from @e.g.kitchen but modified the ingredients a bit. Highly
recommend to use ‘You Mian’油麵 (Taiwanese style yellow noodle) for making this dish if possible. Here I chose
Japanese yakisoba to substitute Taiwanese You Mian as it has similar looks.
