Tàⁿ-á-mī (Chinese: 擔仔麵; pinyin: dànzǎimiàn; Tâi-lô: tànn-á-mī; lit. 'shoulder pole noodle'), also known as ta-a noodles or danzai noodles, are a type of snack found in Tainan, Taiwan. Also known as "slack season ta-a noodles", they originated in Tainan (in southern Taiwan) about 130 years ago. While the general recipe is well known, some of the spices and the proportions of the various ingredients (shrimp-flavored soup, shrimp, minced pork, coriander, and garlic) are closely guarded secrets by the different restaurants and stands that serve it.
