Kuanfen noodles (Chinese: 宽粉) are flat Chinese noodles made from potatoes. They are commonly used in mala hotpot (Chinese: 麻辣烫)[1] and stew (Suan la fen).[2] They can also be made from purple potatoes.
Kuanfen, at least four to five centimeters wide, reflects the "big" (Chinese: 大) aesthetic of the northwestern China: spacious landscapes, hearty food, tradition of smashing the wine bowl (Chinese: 摔碗酒).[1]
