V ru\u0161n\u00fdch ulic\u00edch Tchaj-peje na Tchaj-wanu se v 50. letech 20. stolet\u00ed zrodilo kulin\u00e1\u0159sk\u00e9 mistrovsk\u00e9 d\u00edlo. Kucha\u0159 Peng \u010cchang-kuej, proslul\u00fd hunansk\u00fd \u0161\u00e9fkucha\u0159, p\u0159ipravoval velkolep\u00e9 bankety pro \u010d\u00ednskou nacionalistickou vl\u00e1du.

Pengova verze se vyzna\u010dovala v\u00fdrazn\u00fdmi hunansk\u00fdmi chut\u011bmi: kyselou, pikantn\u00ed, p\u00e1livou a slanou.

V 70. letech 20. stolet\u00ed se \u0161\u00e9fkucha\u0159 Tsung Ting Wang, v\u00fdkonn\u00fd \u0161\u00e9fkucha\u0159 a spolumajitel newyorsk\u00e9ho Shun Lee Palace, vydal na Tchaj-wan hledat inspiraci.
