About this dish
Banmian or pan mee (Min Nan Chinese: pán-mī) is a Chinese noodle dish that consists of handmade noodles served in soup. Other types of handmade noodles include youmian (similar dough texture and taste, but thinner round noodles), or mee hoon kueh (flat and thin rectangular pieces). The name banmian ('board noodle' or 'block noodle') came from the Hakka method of cutting the noodles into straight strands using a wooden block as ruler. In Hakka, some might call it man-foon-char-guo (麵粉茶粿) or dao-ma-chet (刀嬤切). In Hokkien, it was called mee-hoon-kueh but what can be found at hawker stalls is generally called banmian. The current style is a mix between the traditional methods of Hakka and Hokkien.
