Hello everyone! Welcome back to Mrs. Lin’s Kitchen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I’m sharing with you the recipe for Taiwanese Cold Noodles or Liang Mein in Mandarin Chinese. Similar to Vietnamese Cold Rice Noodle or Bun, Taiwanese cold noodles are refreshing with interesting textures and it\u2019s perfect for warmer weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Summer in Taiwan can get quite unbearably humid and hot. Eating something like hotpot or beef noodle soup just doesn\u2019t sound attractive. Besides sushi and sashimi, Taiwanese cold noodles or Liang Mein are among one of the popular dishes eaten during this weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it\u2019s very popular, you can find Taiwanese cold noodles in the supermarkets, night markets and even at 7-Eleven in Taiwan. Some street vendors also specialize in it. Taiwanese cold noodles are a Taiwanese version of cold pasta salad. It\u2019s actually quite simple and easy to make at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
