Beef noodle soup is so beloved in Taiwan that shops hold annual competitions, and some cooks simmer the broth for up to 12 hours to build its deep, savory richness.

Oyster omelette pairs briny fresh oysters with a chewy sweet-potato-starch batter, and night markets finish it with a tangy, sweet sauce that people line up for.
