Chinese noodles
|
|
Chinese cuisine includes many different types of noodles (traditional 麵, simplified 面, pinyin miàn, often written "mien" or "mein" in English transliteration).
Nomenclature of the noodles is difficult due to the vast spectrum available and the many dialects of Chinese used to name them. Each noodle type can be rendered in pinyin for Mandarin, but in Hong Kong and neighboring Guangdong it will be known by its Cantonese pronunciation, while Malaysia, Singapore and many other Overseas Chinese communities will use Hokkien instead.
