油飯 (Oil Rice, Taiwanese Risotto) , also called Taiwanese Risotto, as the cooking way is very similar with the Italian gourmet.

It was traditionally given as a gift to celebrate a newborn’s full moon. Over time, its deliciousness made it popular as a hearty breakfast option among laborers and almost everyone in Taiwan.
