Mung bean sheets

Mung bean sheets are a type of Chinese noodle. It is transparent, flat, and sheet-like. They can be found, in dried form, in Hong Kong and occasionally in some Chinatowns overseas.

Production

Similar to cellophane noodles, mung bean sheets are made of mung beans, except they are different in shape. The sheets are approximately 1 cm wide, like fettuccine noodles. They are produced in the Shandong province of eastern China , as well as in the northern city of Tianjin, and have a springier, chewier texture than the thinner noodles.

Use

Mung bean sheets are used for cold dishes, hot pots, and dishes, in conjunction with sliced meats and/or seafood, vegetables, and seasonings.
