On December 11, 1997, Xiamen Wu Zaitian Sate Noodles was identified as one of the first Chinese famous snacks.[2]

Origin

Satay is originally from Malaysia, but it can also be said to come from Indonesia. Tea drinking is popular in the Minnan region (another expression of southern Fujian province), so the Malay word for sate is translated into Minnan's word for sa-te which is called sha-cha in mandarin.[3][4] Another saying about the origin of shacha noodle is that "tay" in satay has a similar pronunciation to the local Hokkien word for tea-"cha" so people call this food which is made from satay sauce shacha noodle.[5]

Ingredient

The common and main ingredients of shacha noodle are shacha sauce, oil noodles, beansprouts and water. Other ingredients can be added for flavor such as fried tofu or shrimp.[4]
