The Tale of Sapasui
Story updated
Sapasui, Samoan chop suey, traces back to Chinese laborers brought to Samoa as indentured workers under German colonial administration in the early 1900s. Samoan cooks adapted the Chinese noodle stir-fry to local tastes and ingredients, and it has since become a well-loved fixture of Samoan home cooking.
