Originating from a noodle factory in Tainan, Taiwan, in 1977, A-Sha uses a noodle recipe that’s over 100 years old to create delicious, healthier ramen and other noodle options. After becoming the biggest brand in Taiwan, A-Sha noodles arrived in the U.S. in 2011 on the west coast and quickly spread to gourmet supermarkets throughout the country.

Now global, A-Sha offers some of the most popular dry noodle products in the world. One of their most popular varieties is the Hakka Style Noodle, traditionally served “dry” after boiling rather than in the broth. Add a thick sauce loaded with umami and spice before topping your noodles with cilantro, herbs, green onion, a poached egg, or other favorite toppings.
