Hot Bean Thread Noodle

Submitted by Chef MB

"One of my all time favorites. Simple, delicious, and you can make it spicier or less spicy. The addition of carrots is my own. Can be made with ground turkey or veggie crumbles instead of meat."

We LOVED this! Even dh who claims to hate rice noodles enjoyed this. I messed up & didn't get the carrots in there but I'm sure they'd be a great addition. Made for Chinese/Vietnamese New Year Tag. Thank you, Chef MB!
