This is an extremely easy (5 mins) to prep and quick recipe (10 mins). Ideal for anyone on the go, anyone who loves noodles and for busy mum`s and dads who wants to feed the hungry kids shortly after school with lots of added vegetables. This dish is also ideal for lunch or as a light dinner.

If you are not keen on dried shrimps then don`t add it in. The dish is nice without shrimps too but the shrimps really do boost the flavour. If you like a bit of fish sauce, shrimp paste or strong flavour then dried shrimps is for you.

Tip:- The longer you leave Mung bean noodles to sit in the pot of stock, they will eventually soak up most or all of the stock. The noodles then becomes more plumped, absolutely delicious! I suggest leaving it in the pot after 10 minutes of cooking. Turn the gas off and leave it for 10-20 minutes! Once you have cooked with Mung bean noodles I’m sure you will cook with it again.
