mung bean vermicelli

Mung bean vermicelli are very thin noodles made with mung bean starch. Small bundles of noodles 50 grams each are sold in bags. Once cooked they are super-thin and almost transparent. You can use other Asian rice vermicelli as a substitute. Korean dangmyeon starch noodles are too thick to substitute.

Look for them in the noodle section of Korean grocery stores. After opening, seal the package well and store in a cool, dry place.
