Shrimp with glass noodles
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Glass noodles with shrimp and vegetables is a delicious and satisfying dish straight from Asia. In everyday language, it's often known by its second name—glass vermicelli. It's usually made from mung bean starch, though sometimes starch from quinoa, potato, yam, corn, or cassava is used. This dish is very beneficial for the body, as it supports overall physical and mental well-being, provides energy, and strengthens muscles. Glass noodles pair perfectly with chicken, mushrooms, vegetables, seafood, sauces, and spices. A big advantage is that they don't require long cooking—simply pour boiling water over them and let them steep for a while. The noodles themselves have a neutral taste, so they're best served with vegetables and sauce. Serve hot.
