Sotanghon Soup

In this recipe I will use it in a popular soup in Philippines which is a Filipino version of the chicken noodle soup called sotanghon soup, a very heart-warming dish best enjoyed in cold and rainy season.

Sotanghon also known as Cellophane noodles, Chinese vermicelli, Tang Hoon, Bean Threads, Bean Thread Noodles, Crystal Noodles, or Glass noodles is a type of transparent noodles which are made out of mung beans (green beans). This type of noodle is widely used in East and South East Asian Cuisine such as the Korean Jap Chae, Chinese Jiaozi or Bing, Vietnamese Spring rolls and Thailand’s Yum Woon Sen.

A very versatile noodle which is commonly used in several types of dishes such as soups, fried noodles, spring roll stuffing and even in dim sums. In this recipe I will use it in a popular soup in Philippines which is a Filipino version of the chicken noodle soup called sotanghon soup, a very heart-warming dish best enjoyed in cold and rainy season.
