Bean Sprout Namul (ナムル)
Basically, I like to add Kanten to any salads and appetizers.
This Namul (ナムル) is one of my favorite recipe for using a Salad Kanten Noodle. Just by adding this kanten, it gives additional texture, the sense of fullness and necessary dietary fibre. Yum yum:)

Not only are Kanten noodles a healthy addition to any salad, but they’re wonderful in a soup or stir fry. Rather than using pasta or rice, I prefer to use Kanten salad noodles with tofu and vegetables. Although the noodles are light, they still give flavour and body to any dish. They are also much quicker to prepare, since they only need to be soaked in water rather than boiled or cooked. I wish I would have discovered Kanten years ago.
