Shahe fen (沙河粉), or simply hor fun / he fen (河粉), is a type of wide Chinese noodle made from rice.[1][2] Its Minnan Chinese name, 粿條 (pronounced guǒtiáo in Mandarin), is adapted into alternate names which are widely encountered in Southeast Asia, such as kway teow, kwetiau, and kuetiau; Thai: ก๋วยเตี๋ยว (kuaitiao). Shahe fen is often stir-fried with meat and/or vegetables in a dish called chao fen (炒粉; pinyin: chǎo fěn). While chao fen is a transliteration of Mandarin, chow fun from Cantonese (see the main article at beef chow fun) is the name most often given to the dish in Chinese restaurants in North America.
