Ingredients 101: Bean Thread Noodles

Bean Thread Noodles
This ingredient is called by three different names, just to make things confusing. The good new is that these noodles are not difficult to find. To use, simply take a bundle of the noodles (they come in little bundles) and place it in a small bowl. Cover with warm water and let set for 5-10 minutes.
