This simple Noodle salad is made with Bean Noodles and is dressed with a wonderful sweet, sour salty dressing and topped with Shrimp, Veggies, Herbs. I love using bean noodles, this is typically made from mung bean and is similar to rice noodles but has a transparent texture when cooked and is hence also called glass noodles. You can eat it hot or cold and its very versatile.
