Ban tiao (flat rice noodles) has such a rabid following that many Taiwanese will drive hours in search of the most authentic bowls. The thick, flat, slippery noodles made from glutinous rice are part of the Hakka culinary tradition and best sampled in Kaohsiung's Meinong district.
Stir-fried ban tiao with pork has a rustic taste and texture. Many find the dish more comforting when served in hot soup.
