作法
- 先做粉色醬：番茄醬、甜辣醬、味噌、糖、醬油與米醋加100毫升水入小鍋，攪勻燉4分鐘至略稠後放涼。
- 番薯粉、米粉、水與鹽攪打成滑順無顆粒的粉漿，質地應如稀奶油。
- 寬不沾鍋或鐵板中大火熱1.5大匙油。
- 倒入半份粉漿，傾鍋使粉漿薄薄鋪開。立即在表面分布半份蚵仔，再撒半份茼蒿。
- 再以螺旋方式淋上半份蛋液於頂上。讓底部凝固轉為半透明——約90秒。粉漿會由乳白轉為半透明的灰玉色。
- 撒上半份豆芽。以寬鏟翻面（或半翻——將一半折起覆蓋另一半），再煎60秒。滑入盤中，淋上滿滿粉色醬。同樣方式煎第二份。

Can 蚵仔煎 be scaled up or down?
This recipe is written for 2 servings. To scale, multiply each ingredient proportionally; the cooking times stay the same up to about double the volume. Beyond that, expect to cook in batches because of pan size and heat distribution.
文化背景
蚵仔煎是台灣夜市的招牌——多項調查皆顯示它是士林、饒河、六合等大夜市的點單冠軍。源自福建—閩南（閩式蚵仔煎類似但用不同葉菜），但台版以茼蒿與粉色甜醬為決定性差異。番薯粉（而非小麥粉）是技術標誌——它賦予那獨特的半透明凝膠口感，使台式有別於華南的蠔煎。
