Misua; very thin salted Chinese noodles made from wheat flour.
colloquialfood
How it's used
Refers specifically to the very thin, often salted wheat noodles common in Fujian and Taiwanese cuisine. Unlike standard egg noodles or rice noodles, these are prized for their delicate texture and ability to absorb broth quickly. They are frequently served in a thick, starchy soup base rather than a clear broth.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 米粉, which is made from rice flour and has a distinct, firmer texture. While both are thin, they are made from different ingredients and require different cooking times.
