Stir Fry Glass Noodles with Shredded Vegetables

 

Tung Hoon or glass noodles is one of the many dried noodles commonly found in many countries.  This noodle is made from mung bean paste.  Mung beans, which has a slightly sweet flavour are commonly used to grow beansprouts.  They are dried and ground into flour, which in turn are made into glass noodles.

Glass noodles are highly porous, so do not soak them in cold water for more than 1-2 minutes.  Otherwise, they become soggy.

This stir fry glass noodles is a comfort food which I cooked during the hot and humid days.  Very easily to prepared yet it is a noodle dish with proteins and fibre that makes a complete meal.
