Stir-Fried Instant Noodles is featured among the local specialties of Taiwan.
Stir-Fried Instant Noodles (炒泡面) are a Kinmen (金門) food associated with soldiers' meals and memories of the islands' military years. Instant noodles are stir-fried with egg, meat and vegetables.
Egg, meat and cabbage
At San Yan Liang Yu (三言兩語) in Jinhu (金湖), the county tourism site describes a battlefield-style version with egg, shredded meat, sausage and cabbage stir-fried together with the noodles. It identifies the dish as a favourite among soldiers.
A quick turn in the wok
The county's account of Garden Feast (綠園餐館) describes cooking its noodles rapidly over high heat, producing a fragrant, smooth-textured plate. Stir-fried instant noodles are listed among that restaurant's signature dishes, alongside fried white noodles. Both documented versions place the dish within Kinmen's local restaurant cooking and military food memories.
