Rice Pin Noodles 米苔目
Rice Pin Noodles is featured among the local specialties of Taiwan.
Rice Pin Noodles (米苔目) is a rice-noodle dish served in Taitung (台东), where the local version is predominantly savoury. A 2023 Central News Agency report describes noodles handmade from Taitung-grown non-glutinous rice, with a springy bite and a gradually developing rice fragrance.
Broth and bonito toppings
Bonito flakes and chives accompany the noodles, and a ladle of stock is poured over the bowl. The same local account also names bean sprouts among the ingredients associated with Taitung’s bowls.
A family food tradition
Rongshuxia (榕树下), founded by Huang Wang Lilan (黄王丽兰), is one of the Taitung businesses in the report. Her family recalled half a century of serving the dish and discussed passing on her cooking after her death in 2023. The account connects this bowl with local childhood memories.
