Origin
Samoan

Description
Glass noodles (cellophane noodles) are soaked and drained. Pork or chicken is sautéed with garlic, ginger, and onion. Soy sauce is added. The noodles are tossed in and stir-fried briefly to absorb the sauce. Vegetables (cabbage, carrots) are added. Served hot over rice or alongside taro. Sapasui feeds many from one pot and reheats well, making it ideal for Samoan communal meals and church gatherings.
