Lai fun

Lai fun

Lai fun is a variety of Chinese noodle that is short and thick. It is commonly found in Hong Kong and to some degree among overseas Chinatowns. Its name comes from the Cantonese language.

Production

"Lai fun" noodles are made from rice flour and are available in short or long varieties.

Comparison

"Lai fun" has a very similar appearance with silver needle noodles. One way to distinguish the two is to look at the ends of each "lai fun" piece. The ends of "lai fun" noodles are often cut straight down as opposed to leaving a tapering "tail."
