- "I was so busy slurpin' down those saucy strands, I failed to notice the fact that my receipt had a top-secret message scrawled on it."
- ―Strono Tuggs, The Ultimate Cookbook
Sakhet's Special was a saucy noodle dish that included meat and a chopped green vegetable. Long before[1] 34 ABY,[2] Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs visited the eatery Sakhet's Noodles on[1] the planet[3] Denon, where he enjoyed the proprietor Sakhet's Corellian buckwheat noodles. Following his visit, he included a recipe for Sakhet's Special in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook,[1] published in 35 ABY,[2] in which he recalled visiting Sakhet on Denon.[1]
Behind the scenes
Sakhet's Special was introduced in the 2023 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook, a recipe book written by Marc Sumerak and Jenn Fujikawa with photography by Ted Thomas. The out-of-universe ingredients for the recipe are soba noodles[1]—made from buckwheat,[4] like Sakhet's in-universe noodles—olive oil, an onion, rib eye steak, tamari, brown sugar, mirin, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, black pepper, nori, and green onions.[1]

- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook establishes that the publishing of the in-universe The Ultimate Cookbook and the culinary tour that preceded it occurred following the publishing of The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook and prior to the destruction of Kijimi. It also establishes that The Ultimate Cookbook was published following the Festival of the Ancestors that occurred during that time period. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook further establishes that The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook was published concurrently with the First Order's search for the Resistance base on Batuu, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 34 ABY. In addition, Timelines dates the Festival of the Ancestors and the destruction of Kijimi to 35 ABY, meaning the tour must have taken place between 34 ABY and 35 ABY and The Ultimate Cookbook must have been published in 35 ABY.
