Sources
- Indonesia Travel (Ministry of Tourism, 7 August 2025): the description of the dish.
- Transnational Institute (2016), p. 4: "Acehnese noodles" among the local dishes. Note 16 gives the passage's sources as Boorsma (1917, 1918), interviews by Lingkar Ganja Nusantara and a 2015 Sydney Morning Herald report.
- Musanna, Nabilah and Suip (2024), p. 85: the sentence quoted. The study gives no source or informant for it.
- Liputan6.com, 7 October 2025 (Fitriyani Puspa Samodra): the fried recipe, which the site says it adapted from Lilly T. Erwin, Mi Goreng dan Mi Rebus Populer Daerah (Gramedia Pustaka Utama, 2013). The article cites Liputan6, not the book.
Title and spelling
- The title is the form on the Indonesia Travel page. Mi Aceh, the form NU Online uses, is a redirect.
Is it cannabis?
- The briefing names cannabis seed; the 2024 study names "processed cannabis seasoning" without a part. Neither reports a test. The infobox gives Seed, from the briefing.
- "Acehnese noodles" in the briefing and "Aceh noodles" in the study are taken as English for mie Aceh. The tourism ministry's page uses "Aceh Noodles" for the dish.
Infobox
- first_recorded is 2016, the year of the earliest cited source that names the dish with cannabis.
- still_made is Yes because the dish is described as made and sold in 2025. It does not mean that cannabis is still added.
Not used
- The 2006 seizure list reported in the 2016 briefing includes "fried noodles". The list does not name the dish, so it is given on Cannabis in Acehnese cuisine and not here.
- A 2020 news-agency report quotes a cannabis smoker who said prohibition had made people better at hiding cannabis in a "plate of noodles". It names no dish.
