Longkou vermicelli

Longkou Vermicelli is known for classic Chinese glass noodles made from mung bean starch (pea starch). With us, you'll find them in two sizes, so you can choose the quantity that suits your kitchen. The noodles are thin, dry, and become completely transparent and slightly elastic when softened – hence the name glass noodles.

What you'll find here:

• Longkou Pea Vermicelli 500g (glass noodles)
• Longkou Pea Vermicelli 250g (glass noodles)
• Thin glass noodles made from mung bean/pea starch

Glass noodles are versatile and used in woks, clear soups, spring rolls, and cold noodle salads. They are popular in Thai glass noodle salad (yum woon sen) with shrimp, minced meat, lime, and chili, and they work well in Chinese stews. Since they have almost no inherent flavour, they absorb the taste from sauces and broths.

Soak the noodles in hot water for 5-10 minutes until soft, and optionally cut them into shorter lengths before use. Add them to the wok or soup at the end so they don't become mushy.
