'''Oyster vermicelli'''(traditional Chinese: 蚵仔麵線; Taiwanese Hokkien:'' ô-á mī-sòaⁿ'') is a noodle soup originating in Taiwan.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://medium.com/eatdrinktaiwan/ukuko-oyster-vermicelli-83baef3658e0|title=Ukuko Oyster Vermicelli - Eat Drink Taiwan|last=沃凱文|first=Kevin Wolkober|date=2017-07-08|website=Medium|language=en|access-date=2019-06-25}}</ref> Its main ingredients are oysters and ''misua'' (Chinese vermicelli). One of the famous places serving this is in Dihua Street, Dadaocheng, Taipei.{{cn|date=March 2021}} A tan-brown variety of vermicelli used for this dish is made primarily with wheat flour and salt, and gains its unique colour due to a steaming process that darkens the sugars in the dough, allowing it to be cooked for longer periods without breaking down.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Hiufu Wong |first1=Maggie |title=40 of the best Taiwanese foods and drinks |url=https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/40-taiwan-food/index.html |website=CNN |date=24 July 2015 |publisher=CNN |access-date=8 April 2020}}</ref>
An alternative is vermicelli with large intestine, in which oysters are substituted with small segments of pig's large intestine.
