Suan la fen is a Sichuan dish that uses noodles made from sweet potato starch.
Authentic suan la fen is characterized by the numbing heat of Sichuan pepper and the sourness of black vinegar.
Standard kanji spelling for this Chinese loanword; the reading サンラーフン is the most common Japanese approximation.
Alternate reading closer to Mandarin suānlàfěn; less common in Japanese menus.
Another alternate reading; rarely used in practice.
From Chinese 酸辣粉 (suānlàfěn), literally 'sour spicy noodles'.
