They used 10 subjects to evaluate the glycemic index and found mung bean noodles to have a lower glycermic index than brown rice, taro, adlay, yam and bread. Longkou Vermicelli (also known as Bean Thread Noodles, glass noodles or tang hoon in Malaysia) is made of high-quality, natural ingredients. In my home province Gansu, Liang Fen is also stir-fried with garlic, dried chilies, soy sauce, vinegar, etc.

So I am thinking laterally here…my daughter in law is coming for dinner and she has so many things she doesn’t like to eat.They are traditionally served during the hot summer months as they have a cooling effect, but they can be enjoyed year-round served hot or chilled.
