Mee Soya

I ate at Try Mee again and I remembered to order a bowl of noodles made from soybeans (mee soya). I love to eat this type of noodles and there are very few places near where I live that serve them.

Pork noodles with soybean noodles

Pan mee with soybean noodles instead of the normal "pan mee"" made-on-the-spot noodles

  1. Hello there, it's the first time I have ever heard of soybean noodles. Does it taste vastly different from the regular noodles?

    1. Hello Phoebe,

      Thank you for dropping by. Yes, I would say that the noodle itself tastes different from hor fun or pan mee or wan ton mee.

    1. I think the dry version can be found in any supermarkets. Usually the packaging has only the chinese name - 豆簽(traditional chinese) or 豆签 (simplified chinese) = Dòu qiān or bean mee. You can buy it and cook it yourself at home. :)

    1. It is much softer than the thick wantan mee and without the kan sui taste. Maybe you can buy the dry soya mee from supermarkets and cook it at home to see how you like it. Usually the packaging has only the chinese name - 豆簽(traditional chinese) or 豆签 (simplified chinese) = Dòu qiān or bean mee. :)

    1. Yes, it is very smooth. I have a hard time picking up the noodles using chopsticks as they kept slipping off.
