BEAN THREAD NOODLES
Bean thread noodles are thin, transparent noodles made from ground mung beans (small, khaki green legumes). They’re used in a variety of Asian dishes and are most often added to soups.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Add noodles a few at a time to boiling water. To prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pan, stir gently until the water returns to a rapid boil. Cook for five to six minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Use as a base for pad Thai, toss with sesame oil and sesame seeds, or use them to fill spring rolls.
