Taiwanese Sha Cha Sauce Noodles (沙茶麵/沙茶面)
Lunch @ a local eatery; nothing fanciful. This is place crowded with office workers out for their lunch break very near the Taiwan Presidential Palace.
"Sha Cha Sauce" is actually a condiment popular in Southern China and Taiwan where seafood is fermented with spices to yield an unique testing sauce. There is a sweet fishy-seafood aroma, with not a hint of stench, well blended in with the woodiness and warmth of spices. When added to any dishes, it instantly lifts the flavour by adding a robust character.
In this case, the noodles, served with a general topping of greens, are served in a set either with braised chicken thighs or braised pork hock.
