Step-by-Step Instant Pot Taiwanese Street Corn Cooking Guide Prepare Ingredients for Instant Pot Taiwanese Street Corn. What is Shacha Sauce (Chinese: 沙茶醬)? Shacha sauce is one of our favorite sauces and a MUST HAVE for Hot Pot! It originated from Malaysian & Indonesian’s Satay sauce. But after years of modifications, the two sauces currently in the market are very different and distinct from one another. Shacha sauce is more savory, full of fragrance, taste, and texture of dried shrimps. Satay sauce is a thick peanut sauce that is more sweet & spicy. There are variations on the ingredients of Shacha sauce depending on the brand. The Taiwanese brand we enjoy the most is 《牛頭牌》原味沙茶醬 (Bull Head BBQ Sauce). It’s made of soybean oil, dried fish, garlic, dried green onions, coconut powder, sesame, Taiwan mauxia shrimp, chili powder, ginger, salt, five spices, and pepper. *Tip: You should be able to find Shacha Sauce at your local Asian groceries or at the Asian aisle of the supermarkets.
