Mein Sin or mee sua in chicken soup

Everyone in my family love noodles. The are so many different type of Chinese noodles. Mein sin is just one of them. Most Chinese mothers cook mein sin with chicken soup when a loved one is not well. We have mein sin available in our pantry all the time because it is so handy and easy to make. On days that we wanted something light and simple for lunch, we just have a bowl of mein sin in chicken soup and we are very happy. However, there is another elaborate way of cooking mein sin.
