What Are Saifun Bean Threads?

Saifun bean threads, or Asian Noodles, can also be called cellophane noodles. They’re very thin noodles, made from the starch of mung beans.

When you cook them in water, they turn slippery and clear.

Do You Have To Cook Bean Threads?

Unline many other noodles, you don’t have to boil these noodles to cook them. You just have to soak them in water. These noodles are very tough when not cooked, so you should make sure to soak them before enjoying them.

Letting them steep in your soup jar with the hot water is exactly what they need to be the best noodles for this recipe.

Where Do You Buy Cellophane Noodles?

You can get these Asian Noodles in just about any grocery store that has an ethnic food grocery section. You can also go to your local Asian food market or buy them online.

How Do You Store Your Soup?

Store your soup in your Mason Jar. Once you’ve added the hot water and let it steep, if you’re not going to eat it all at once, you can store it in the Jar in the refrigerator.

How Long Is Your Soup Good For?

Before you add water to your soup, you can let it sit for up to 5 days on the counter. You need to check the vegetables and make sure they’re still good before adding the hot water and enjoying your soup.
