Chinese Glass Noodles With Peanut Sauce image

"Glass" or "cellophane" noodles are made from mung beans, and are so called because they become almost transparent when cooked. The Chinese name for them is "sai fun" and you can find them in an Asian specialty grocery, or in the international section of a well-stocked traditional grocery. Most of the time spent here is passive, for soaking and then refrigerating the noodles.

Categories     Beans

Time 2h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (4 ounce) package sai-fun noodles (mung bean noodles)
2 cups soup stock (veggie or chicken)
2 tablespoons peanut butter
4 tablespoons hot tap water
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 pinch sugar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
garlic-red chili paste, to taste
green onion, chopped
1 tablespoon dry roasted peanuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Soak the noodles for 1 hour and drain.
  • Place in a saucepan with the soup stock and simmer until they are tender but not mushy, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain the stock from the noodles, reserving it for another use. Place the noodles on a tray and refrigerate them for one hour.
  • Mix the sauce by putting the peanut butter in a 2-cup measuring glass and adding the hot water. Stir with a fork until it is the consistency of whipping cream.
  • Add the remaining ingredients for the sauce and mix with the chilled noodles.
  • Place the noodles on a serving dish and garnish with the green onions and peanuts.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my peanut sauce turned out really oily. I think I might have added too much peanut butter.

I'm not a big fan of peanut sauce, but I really enjoyed this dish. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the vegetables were still crisp.
