Shacha noodles

Shacha noodles, also known as sate or satay noodles, is a noodle dish popular in southern Fujian province. It is a kind of soup noodles made by cooking satay soup made from satay sauce and adding bean sprouts, pork liver, and other ingredients.

On December 11, 1997, Xiamen Wu Zaitian Sate Noodles was identified as one of China's top famous snacks.

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 term for southern Fujian province), so the Malay word for sate is translated into Minnan's word for sa-te which is called sha-cha in Standard Mandarin. 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.

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.
