What Does "Q” Mean?
Q is a Taiwanese culinary term to describe the sought-after bouncy, springy, and elastic texture of handmade noodles, mochi, tapioca pearls in boba tea, rice cakes, etc. It’s a texture that is well known and loved in Taiwanese and Chinese cultures, similar to what “al dente” is for Italians. Both savory and sweet foods can be described as Q. Saying something is Q is high praise, equivalent to the compliment of “not too sweet!”
