The Chinese noodle that is the healthiest is Shirataki (Konjac).

The Shirataki (Konjac) Chinese noodles are made from the konjac root, and they're also extremely low in calories and carbs and rich in soluble fiber also known as glucomannan and are filling and also act like a miracle noodle for weight loss and weight management.

Other healthiest Chinese noodles are Mung Bean and Glass Noodles and Tofu Bean Curd Noodles.

Mung Bean/Glass Noodles are made from starches, "mung bean, pea and potatoes", and they are naturally gluten free and lower in carbs than wheat noodles are, although they also offer less nutritional density on their own.

Tofu/Bean Curd noodles are an excellent source of plant based protein, that are found in Asian Markets and are great noodles for cold salads with vegetables.

Even brown rice noodles are a healthy noodle and are a whole grain option that provides more fiber, magnesium, and potassium than refined white noodles.

Asian noodles are also often healthier than most other noodles as they are lower in calories carbs and even Soba noodles are great as they have a high buckwheat content, which is known to have some health benefits.

Chinese crispy noodles are called crispy chow mein noodles or even sometimes called Mein Gon and sometimes Chinese crispy noodles are called fried egg noodles.

Chinese crispy noodles are also known in Cantonese as Leuhng Mihn Wohng or golden on both sides, and is often served as a bed for saucy stir fries in Chinese American restaurants or even as a snack.

Mein Gon is also a noodle shaped cracker or biscuit and also often eaten as a snack.

Crispy Chow Mein Noodles are a common term in American Chinese restaurants for deep fried wheat noodles that are used in dishes like Crispy Noodle Chow Mein.

The really thin Chinese noodles are called Rice Vermicelli or mi fen, which is a very fine type of noodles that originated from southern China.

The Rice Vermicelli are thin, brittle and white and often sold dried and in blocks.

Another really thin Chinese noodle is Glass Noodles also known as Fensi/cellophane noodles which are made from starch and even Chow Mein noodles, which are thin wheat noodles that are often used in stir fries.

But Rice Vermicelli is the most common very thin and fine thread like Chinese noodle.

There's also another noodle called Mee Sua, which is also very delicate and thin.

The rice Vermicelli noodles which are thin and delicate noodles are made from rice flour, and are essential in many Asian cuisines for dishes like salads, soups and even spring rolls, which offer a neutral base that soaks up savory flavors from ingredients like grilled meats and fresh vegetables.

Rice vermicelli noodles are also known for their light and sometimes even gluten free texture and are also prepared by soaking in hot water or a quick boil, which allows the noodles to absorb liquid and become tender and provide a balance to flavorful components.
