Longkou Vermicelli (also known as Bean Thread Noodles, glass noodles or tang hoon in Malaysia) is made of high-quality, natural ingredients. A great way to add texture and taste in stews, soups, salads, stir-fries, and even deep-fried dishes. Tip: Glass noodles are a perfect low-carb alternative to rice.
Made from green mung beans, glass noodles are a good source of protein, selinium, and iron, especially for vegetarians. Bean thread noodles should be considered for inclusion in a gluten-free diet.
To prepare, place noodles in a heatproof bowl, pour over hot or boiling water and soak for 5 to 15 minutes, just until tender. Add to stir-fry dishes or salads. If adding to soups, it is not necessary to soak before adding. When cooking, because these noodles tend to soak up water, add additional liquid as needed. Do not soak for deep-frying. Drop dry noodles into hot oil and remove quickly once puffed up, almost immediately.
