Mami is a noodle soup made with wheat flour noodles, broth and the addition of meat (chicken, beef, pork) or wonton dumplings.

Origin

Its creation is generally attributed to Ma Mon Luk, a Chinese immigrant who began selling noodles served with chicken broth in Binondo, Manila in 1920. Ma originally called his dish "gupit", after the Tagalog word for “cut”. Later, Ma decided to call it "Ma mi" (simplified Chinese: 马面; traditional Chinese: 馬麵; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Ma-mi), literally meaning, "Ma’s noodles". Unfortunately, Ma did not have the name patented. Soon, imitation noodle soups sprouted with a name that was, personally, his.[1][2][3]
