Glass noodles also known as Cellophane noodles, Chinese Vermicelli or Bean Thread Noodles are a type of transparent Asian noodles made from starch. This is one of my fav type of noodle and I'd pick it anytime as compared to other Asian/chinese noodles.
What i have over here is what you called Yam Woon Sen - the Thai Glass noodles with Prawns. Again whatever dish/recipes you see over here isnt the auntentic ones, rather the altered version of whatever my fav dishes are.
Ingredients:
Glass noodles
* soak in water for about 10 mins or until soft dependin on brands and blanch it
Prawns
* marinade with salt & pepper
* simmer in soft brown sugar+ water until the prawns turn pink
* dish out and keep the extra gravy aside to be used as part of the dressing
Mince meat (pork)
* marinade with salt, black pepper and fish sauce
* saute the mince with finely chopped onions until it loses its pink colour
* break the mince into small morsels.
Vegetables /Greens
* slices of tomatoes
* chopped cilantro
* chopped mint leaves
* slices of onions
* chopped bird eye's chilli
* finely shredded carrot
Dressing
* lime juice
* fish sauce
* brown sugar
Note: i mixed the 3 items together and transfer it into a sauce pan n double boil it until the sugar has dissolves and added the gravy from simmering the prawns.
Methods:
1) Put the blanched glass noodles in a large bowl
2) Put in the the list of greens
3) Toss in the cooked prawns and the minced meat
4) Pour over noodles and mix thoroughly
For those that prefer a spicier and tangy note to this dish, add in more bird eye's chilli and adjust the taste of the dressing to your liking.
