Miến is a type of transparent noodle made from starch, commonly used in various Asian cuisines, particularly in Vietnamese dishes. It is typically made from mung bean starch, which gives it a delicate texture and a slightly chewy consistency. Miến is often served in soups, stir-fries, or salads, absorbing flavors from the accompanying ingredients. In Vietnam, miến is popular in dishes like Miến Gà, a chicken noodle soup, and Miến Lươn, which features eel. These dishes highlight the versatility of miến, as it can complement both meat and vegetable ingredients, making it a staple in many households.
