Migan


Migan is a type of rice noodle from the Dai people, a Tai cultural group from Yunnan Province, China. It is made from ordinary non-glutinous rice, and it is only sold fresh.

Difference from other noodles

Unlike the circular mixian, migan is primarily defined by its relatively broad and flat shape. It is somewhat less widely available than mixian, even within Yunnan, though it is still common.
Migan is both rice flour based and freshly prepared, which differentiates it from the transparent fensi noodles that are common throughout much of mainland China.

Serving

Migan is typically served either in broth or stir fried.
As with mixian, when migan is served in broth it is common for a range of individual condiments to be presented for customers to add to their bowl themselves. Condiments typically include chilli, coriander, garlic, pepper, salt, spring onion, soy sauce, tomato, vinegar and zhe'ergen. The creation of a rich broth is a quintessential part of the migan experience.
Chefs generally prepare the noodles without breaking them.
