Sourced from the renowned Longkou region of Shandong, these bean thread vermicelli noodles represent the premium quality of glass noodles. Unlike rice noodles, these are made from bean starch (typically mung beans), which gives them their distinctive qualities: they cook up completely translucent and clear, and they maintain a beautiful chewy and elastic texture that resists overcooking.
The best feature of Longkou Fensi is its unique ability to absorb and carry the flavor of the dish it’s in—they are the perfect “flavor sponges”! They don’t have a strong taste on their own, letting the broth, sauce, or seasoning shine.
These fine vermicelli noodles are incredibly versatile and cook quickly after a simple soak:
Hot Pot: Toss directly into boiling hot pot broth for a delightful, slippery texture.
Stir-Fries: Add rehydrated noodles to vegetable or meat stir-fries to soak up the sauce.
Cold Salads: A classic choice for refreshing, vinegary Asian cold noodle salads (like Korean japchae or various Chinese cold appetizers).
Spring Roll Fillings: Used widely as a binder and texture enhancer in spring rolls and dumplings.
Simply soak the vermicelli in warm water for 5-10 minutes until soft before adding them to boiling soups or stir-fries.
