Mung bean sheets are a type of Chinese noodle. It is transparent,flat,and sheet-like. They can be found,in dried form,in China and occasionally in some Chinatowns overseas.
Similar to cellophane noodles,mung bean sheets are made of mung beans,except they are different in shape. [1] The sheets are approximately 1 cm wide,like fettuccine noodles. They are produced in the Shandong province of eastern China (where cellophane noodles are also produced),as well as in the northern city of Tianjin,and have a springier,chewier texture than the thinner noodles.
Mung bean sheets are used for cold dishes,hot pots,and stir-fried dishes,in conjunction with sliced meats and/or seafood,vegetables,and seasonings. One such dish is liang fen,where the noodles are served cold with chili oil.
