You’re right about the satay sauce connection with Indonesian! It was brought back to China by Indonesian Chinese. Chaoshan region, together with Minnan (southern Fujian), is home to a lot of migrants going to SE Asia. Some of them and their offsprings moved back home with the cuisines overseas, and satay sauce is especially popular. Chinese variance of satay adjusted according to local preference and produces so it becomes slightly different from its original version. In mandarin you can distinguish them by name, local satay is usually referred as Shacha, SE Asian satay as Shadie. In Chaoshan and Minnan (hokkien) dialect Cha pronounces like “te” (which is also why Cha is tea or te in some western languages, because it’s exported from this region). Xiamen has this local food Shachamian (satay soup noodle) featuring seafood toppings and rich thick soup.

[@SartonoHartojo]

Indonesian Teochew here, and I think there is alot of connection between Chaoshan and SE Asia. I remember visiting my cousin (his grandfather was the brother of my grandfather) in Jieyang many years ago. We were conversing in Chaozhou and we decided to go to the market. And to my surprise, the market is called "Pa Sa" by my cousin, where in Indonesia it is call Pasar.

[@Vinyay2130]

@@dlk3904 Shacha & satay indeed has a lot of regional variances. I agree a major difference between Shacha and satay is the use of crushed shrimp. But they are both based on peanut and some spices. My subjective perspective of "slightly different" could be a distinctive difference in the taste of ppl who are more familiar with the sauce

[@masterboiboi]

@@dlk3904 taiwanese version probably came from china and not SE Asia directly.

As myths will go it was a hawker in Singapore who brought back satay and satay sauce back to his hometown in chaozhou. The reason why it's called shacha is because the Tay is Satay sounds like tea in the hokkien dialect. The recipes differ but the roots are based in SE.asia original satay recipe.

Those people from ChaoShan are the best I've ever met in knowing how to separate different part of beef and cook them accordingly. I came from another province, we eat beef but I think they are more profesional on beef hot pot.

[@buygadgets8663]

Chaoshan people created satay and fish sauce. They travelled to south east asia to make a living and brought these sauce there.

[@georgec3894]

We call it Home style. Once the kids had tasted, they are no longer going back to the beef from Asian supermarket. By the way, the region includes 3 major cities (Shantou, Chaozhou, Jieyang) and probably Shanwei city. Just to clarity so no one got upset. if you like the Chaoshan hotpot, you can get that Satay souce from IGA in Sydney market city.

Back to 20 century , there were many Chaosan immigrants went to Indonesia and Malaysia due to escape from the cultural revolution of mao's communist government. After few years, the exclusion of Chinese started in Indonesia, those chaosan immigrants then escape from Indonesia and went back to chaosan, they also brought the recipe of satay back to chaosan also Hong Kong(Hong Kong has many Chaosan Ppl), so this satay culture was adapted with chaosan culture until today. Satay in Chinese originally called 沙嗲 (pronounce : sa deh), however after the chaosan adapted version, some regions(chaosan and Taiwan) called it 沙茶, (茶means tea , and pronounce as Cha in Cantonese and Mandarin) but in chaosan language 茶 pronounce as "deh" , therefore 沙嗲/沙茶 = satay. This is the history behind satay culture deliver to Chaosan and Hong Kong culture.

[@Suite_annamite]

@6:15: It's because when it comes to Southeast Asia, everything typically came from elsewhere and especially from further north. So it's really never surprising at all to find out that a particular Indonesian sauce, a Vietnamese soup, or a Thai steamed bun was in fact inspired by a recipe from somewhere in China or even Mongolia, because trade zones would have been region-centric. And so, coastal southeastern China would be analogous to Indonesia when it comes to produce. *So it's quite possible that any dish in Southeast Asia still has a living relative on a Chinese menu somewhere.*

[@ANTSEMUT1]

No it's the south east Asian Chinese diaspora bringing the satay sauce back to China when emigrate back there.

[@vennsim71]

Chaoshan beef hotpot is one of the most sought after in China. Super tough to prepare the beef balls, long hours boiling and bring the soup to the right texture, and slicing the different beef cuts... spot on on the before and after cooking the beef, the soup then being use for cooking the rice flat noodles. Unfortunately, being so darn full of SOP in the making, there’s not many chefs to go around, thus it’s always so tough to find that (esp. a good one) out of Chaoshan, let alone China.

Love this episode! I'd also like to share that according to some of my good friends in Fujian, satay is a local flavor in their region and that includes Chaozhou as well as it is in the border of Fujian and Guangdong. In Fujian cities like Xiamen and Zhangzhou, they have a satay-flavoured noodle called "Sha Cha Mian" which is well-received by many.

[@abcabc2680]

Satay source 沙茶醬 originated from China. The type of satay source from Indonesia Malaysia is a variation of the Chinese satay source.

[@kansaibeyond]

Idk how and where it started, but satay is a quite a thing in Hong Kong. In a lot of Hong Kong cha chaan teng places, you can find a lot of satay stir fried items and satay in macaroni soup & beef slices is a common breakfast/brunch item. Even in hot pot, you can mix satay into your sauces. There might even be an option for satay soup.

[@bv2011]

Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand are home to many Chao Zhou (teo chew) people. That is the connection. The migrants introduced SE Asian indigenous peanut sauce to their food, adopted and adjusted to local ingredients. There is a humbler version of your chaosan hotpot in a more easy in the pocket, fit-in-a-bowl dish in Thailand and Indonesian Chao Zhou community.

[@yukei2333]

For the soup, the authentic way of tasting it in Chao Shan is to add some 芹菜粒(diced celery). Maybe you can try it next time :) Also, most people in Guangdong Province are big fans of soup and we have soup before and after the meal (including me xd).

[@liongkienfai104]

I'm a Chaoshanese Indonesian. Indeed, there were many Chaoshanese migrants to Indonesia, particularly around the eastern coast of Sumatra and the western coast of Kalimantan. As well as many that went back to China, especially around the 1950s-60s to help build up China, and escape from Indonesia's anti-communist movement at the time. I've spoken with some Chaoshanese from the mainland, and they still retain some Indonesian vocabulary in their Chaoshanese. But in terms of food, actually, this hotpot doesn't really exist in Indonesia. I mean there is a Chaoshan hotpot restaurant in PIK, Jakarta, but it's really new. It certainly wasn't brought by our forefathers. But the oyster omelette, which we call "o luak" here, you can find in some Chaoshanese restaurants for sure. The Chinese version of sate sauce is quite different from the Indonesian version though. Not as good in my opinion, but perhaps more suited for hotpot. Just one last thing, we never use the term Chaoshan here. This is a new term, rarely used by overseas Chaoshanese. Overseas, the term Chaozhou/Teochew/Tiociu/Trieu Chau/Chiuchow/etc (presumably from 潮州府) automatically encompasses the surrounding cities.

The Chaoshan region has a long history of emigration towards SEA countries, hence the strong influence from this part of the world including the use of satay sauce among other spices. Satay is also quite popular in the cuisine of Southern Fujian where a lot of overseas Chinese originally come from.
