Healthy Thai Glass Noodle Salad
Locally known as Yum Woon Sen in Thailand, this signature glass noodle salad is healthy, crunchy and full of flavor - and quintessentially Thai. Glass noodles, also known as cellophane noodles, mung bean noodles or tang hoon, is a type of Asian noodles made of mung beans.
