Cumian ([tsʰu˥mjɛn˥˩]; lit. "thick noodles") are thick Chinese noodles made from wheat flour and water. Two types of Chinese noodles are called cumian. One is Shanghai style, thick in diameter, used in Shanghai fried noodles. The other type is Hong Kong style, flat and wide, sometimes yellow-alkaline. The flat cumian is a popular option in Hong Kong's cart noodles.
