Mung Bean Noodles

What is it?

Mung Bean sheets are made into noodle like shape and looks close to glass noodles. These noodles are the healthier version of deep fried noodles, udon noodles or egg noodles. 


Ingredients:

  • Mung Bean Sheets/ Glass noodles

  • Shredded Cucumber

  • Shredded Chicken (optional - stir fried with olive oil)

  • Sesame Seeds (for taste, roasted)

  • Peanut Sauce

  • Pepper/Chilli Oil to taste


Directions:

1. Boil Noodle Sheets till desired texture.

2. Cut chicken into small strips or shredded strips and stir fry using olive oil in a separate wok.

3. Shred the cucumber into tiny strips

4. Place noodles, shredded cucumber and chicken (only if you want, because I'm a vegetarian so didn't include this) together. 

5. Add sesame seeds, pepper and chilli oil. 

6. Drizzle with peanut sauce as desired. 



Benefits: 

Peanut Butter is ALWAYS a good idea + a great source of protein. 

Glass noodles are a healthier option as mentioned above.

With such few ingredients, it is a healthy appetiser and tastes DELICIOUS! 


In all honesty, I can eat this snack once a week if not more! 

Try it and let me know if you have any questions or comments.
