This recipe is a typical Burmese snack and I was introduced to it by my dearest father-in-law after my marriage ….. It is spicy, tangy and tastes delicious 🙂 ~ Kamakshi

INGREDIENTS
- 250 gms Mung bean noodles ~ Phing / Cellophane noodles/ glass noodles/ rice noodles

Chop the noodles into about 2 inch sections ( Mung bean noodles are slippery in texture and after boiling will stick together ) and keep aside
- Heat a pan and add the chickpea powder /besan and dry roast on low heat for about 3-5 mins. The powder has to be constantly stirred so that it does not get burnt.
- Add the roasted chickpea powder to the noodles and mix it properly. You will notice that the noodles will start separating when you add the roasted powder.
- Add the chopped chicken, onions, coriander, green chillies, salt, boiled eggs and ajinomoto to the noodles and mix well.
