you should be wondering what is pan mee
actually i also not sure what is pan mee
haha
but i think it's worth to try
Pan Mee is a Chinese food. Some say it's a Hakka dish, while some claim that it's a Hokkien dish. But I personally think it's Hakka. LOL.
In Cantonese, we call it Pan Mee: "pan" means flat, and "mee" means noodles. Flat noodles or rather known as Pan Mee, are hand-kneaded noodles. In Mandarin, it's called "Ban Mian". The original way of cooking Pan Mee is by kneading the flour with hands and tearing the dough to pieces (by hand), before boiling. Nowadays people use a noodles shredder, so you have shredded Pan Mee instead of the hand-torn pieces.
I would say that Pan Mee is pretty similar to the Western Pasta, except there are no fillings in the dough. Pan Mee originally is cooked with clear anchovy soup, with added ingredients like Chinese mushroom slices, some fried onions, potato leaves, minced pork or chicken and topped with fried anchovies, and of course, served with chilli paste. Then there comes variety ~ the Dried Pan Mee, Curry Pan Mee, Claypot Pan Mee, etc.
