It is kind of bean sauce.

Answer 2

Hi, yes, you can use sa cha for stir frying, but only for certain foods. I only use it to cook fish or poultry. I hate the way it tastes when cooking beef and pork (for just dipping I don't mind it, but using it to cook beef and pork is another matter).
I also would recommend not using sa cha in soup, it just gets really dilluted and not worth using unless you use a lot, and then (imho) it gets to be too strong of a flavor.
Be flexible and try experimenting.
Good luck!

Answer 3

springrolls and sa cha sauce work ok together, in my experience.

i like the idea of dipping it with meat. I have yet to try that!

i prefer to mix it with green onions, garlic paste, oyster sauce, white vinegar and soya when I do hot pot. It creates more interest than it on its own.

Answer 4

I don't know if we're talking about the same thing, but I had some fantastic Sa Dja mien - tasted a bit like noodles with chilli.

Answer 5

We use it when BBQing meat: Beef or pork using a brush to lightly coat it while turning.

We also add a quarter teaspoon sometimes when stir frying some greens like Water Spinach (Kang Kong), or Sliced Bell pepper with shredded pork.
