Shrimp and cellophane noodles

recipe

This Filipino dish is called "Sutanghon" or "Sotanghon" and can either be an entree or a soup with addition of more liquid. The noodles are made from bean starch; after cooking, they look clear and slippery (they're also called "glass noodles"), unlike other Asian noodles made from opaque rice or wheat. And Filipinos, like other Asians, don't have the same compunctions as Americans: they see nothing redundant about serving two starches on the same plate, so feel free to serve these noodles next to a scoop of plain boiled rice.
