The Taiwan External Trade Development Council recently organized a cooking demo featuring renowned chefs from Taiwan, Indonesia, and Malaysia. They used Taiwan’s halal-certified products to create dishes. FTV reporter Stephany Yang takes us over for a look.
Taiwanese chef Chef Chen Kuan-min, Indonesian chef Adie Miartadi, and Malaysian chef Fikree Aznan use Taiwanese halal-certified ingredients like camellia oil, bread crumbs, local dried fruits, winter melon tea, and other products to cook their dishes.
This dish was created by Aznan, who hails from Malaysia. It is a hot and sour beef gravy and Pandan wrapper with caramelized coconut.

We are using the Taiwanese product. This is a dragon fruit noodle. I will serve with this Malaysian gravy but still, this one, I am using the Malay sauce. I am using dried chili for spiciness. I am using the Malay sauce for spiciness.

Nowadays, halal food is also very common in Taiwan. Why do we use dried apples? Because dried apples will neutralize the flavor of beef.

The potential of the halal population is huge. Accoridng to some statistics, the populaton of the Halal world will grow to 2.2 billion by 2030. There are many such very friendly countries. We would like to promote because nowadays, we have around 1,000 Taiwanese companies certified with halal certifications and with 20,000 products. Not only in the area of food and beverage but also with some cosmetics or non-food products. Health supplements for example.
The Taiwan Halal Center is also planning a trade mission to Singapore, Malaysia, and the Middle East to expand business opportunities and deepen connections in the halal community.
