If made from wheat, I would say it's 凉皮 (liáng pí).
凉粉 (liáng fěn), although similar, is made from beans - usually mung beans.
Thanks, I thought so but wasn't 100% sure if the name is based on the starch source or rather the noodle shape (since [edited] liang pi meaning "skin" might suggest the latter).
