When I was a child, I read a book like folk tales, which told a legend about the origin of the name Shaqima. It was said that there was a Qing Dynasty general who was very willing to eat and always forced his chef to make it. All kinds of particularly delicious things, otherwise you will be beheaded. Later, a chef made this thing for the general. After the general ate it, he asked what it was called. Since the chef hated the general very much, he said it was called "Kill the Horseman", which means to kill the general on the horse. The general didn't hear it clearly, so it became the name it is today. This is just folklore that I've seen. I don’t know if it is specific, but Shaqima seems to be a Manchu food.
Saqima is a Manchu homophone, meaning fried strips. Manchu traditional flavor food. It was popular in various parts of the north during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The old way of making Saqima is recorded in "Yanjing Chronicles": "Saqima is a Manchurian pastry, made of rock sugar, butter and white flour. It is shaped like glutinous rice and is baked in an ash-free wood oven. The cubes are sweet and edible. "The improved method is: Beat the eggs into the powder and mix well, make them into noodles, fry them in a pan, and then boil the water, sugar, butter, and honey into a thick sauce. , mix evenly with the fried noodles, pour into a wooden trough lined with green and red silk, press flat and wait to cool. Just cut into long cubes with a knife when eating. This food is fragrant, soft, sweet and delicious, and is one of China's famous pastries.
