伊麵 (ji1 min6 | ) : e-fu noodles - CantoDict.
Yee Mein/Yi Mein (伊面) is also called E-fu noodles and Longevity Noodles, which is why every Chinese banquet or celebration dinner isn't complete until the arrival of a platter of delicious noodles (alongside fried rice) as the final savoury course.
Yee mein: the dough is made from wheat flour and egg, which is then deep fried. Because baking soda is also using in the making of the dough, the resulting texture of the noodles is uniquely chewy and spongy, perfect for soaking up the delicious sauce of this dish.
Made from dried wheat gluten, fu is a highly digestible spongy dough and is available in various forms, including fresh (nama fu) or roasted (yaki fu). Originating in China, fu has been produced in Japan for hundreds of years.
