Today I am sharing with you the fried tang hoon recipe in this post. This is one of my favorite meal and you can easily prepare it at home.
Tang Hoon (冬粉) or glass noodle is a type of transparent noodle made from mung bean starch. It is a very common ingredients used in chinese soup cooking. Personally, I like it’s soft and smooth texture which is slightly chewy.
Sometimes, people mistaken tang hoon with rice vermicelli noodles (米粉) due to their similarity form prior to cooking. It is also partly due to their name sounds similar.
You can easily prepare fried tang hoon at home with simple ingredients. In this recipe, I use luncheon meat, crab sticks, carrots and bean sprout. Ingredients wise is really a personal choice. You can also use seafood like prawns in your recipe.
