The historical origin of oyster omelet.

Fried oyster omelet is not a unique snack in Taiwan Province Province. In Minnan-speaking areas (Minnan and Chaoshan), it has existed since ancient times and is a common home-cooked dish. It is said that oyster omelet is a creative dish invented by poor society, an alternative food invented by our ancestors when they are not full, and a symbol of poor life. Minnan, Taiwan Province and Chaoshan are basically homologous. In Taiwan Province Province, its earliest name is "Fried Food Chasing", which is a traditional dim sum well known by the older generation in Anping, Tainan. It is a cake made by wrapping clams, eggs, onions, coriander and other raw materials with sweet potato pulp and adding water.

There is an interesting story about its origin. According to folk rumors, in A.D. 166 1 year, the Dutch army occupied Tainan, and Zheng Chenggong, a native of Nan 'an, Quanzhou, led an army to attack from Luermen, intending to recover lost ground. Zheng Jun was on a roll and defeated the Dutch army. In a rage, the Dutch army hid the rice. Zheng Jun used his quick wits when he was short of food. He simply made clams, sweet potatoes and other specialties in Taiwan Province Province from local materials.

Another argument that can be followed is that oyster omelet in Taiwan Province Province was brought to Taiwan Province Province with the migration of Zheng Chenggong's army and Fujian and Chaoshan immigrants. Become a favorite delicacy for people on both sides of the strait. Now oyster omelet in Taiwan Province Province is highly consistent with oyster omelet in southern Fujian, especially in Quanzhou.
