Double Dragon Bean Vermicelli 80g: The Crystal Clear Choice
Elevate your culinary creations with Double Dragon Bean Vermicelli 80g, now available at Al Modina Halal Food. Often called "Glass Noodles" or "Cellophane Noodles" because of their translucent appearance when cooked, these noodles are a staple in Thai, Vietnamese, and Chinese kitchens. Double Dragon is a premium brand renowned for producing vermicelli that is resilient, chewy, and perfectly textured—never mushy.
At Al Modina Halal Food, we understand that texture is everything in Asian cooking. Cheap vermicelli can break apart or become a soggy mess. Double Dragon guarantees a firm, springy bite that absorbs the savory, sour, and spicy notes of your broths and dressings, making every mouthful a delight.
What are Bean Vermicelli (Glass Noodles)?
Unlike rice noodles or wheat pasta, Bean Vermicelli is made primarily from mung bean starch and water.
-
Appearance: In the package, they look like stiff, white wires. Once soaked and cooked, they become beautifully clear and slippery.
-
Texture: They have a unique elasticity and chewiness ("QQ" texture) that sets them apart from soft rice noodles.
-
Dietary Benefits: They are naturally gluten-free, fat-free, and generally lower in glycemic index compared to white rice products, making them a lighter option for lunch or dinner.
Culinary Versatility: Soaking Up Flavor
The magic of Double Dragon Bean Vermicelli lies in its ability to act as a flavor sponge.
Yum Woon Sen (Thai Glass Noodle Salad)
This is the most famous dish using these noodles.
-
The Method: Blanch the noodles and toss them while warm with lime juice, fish sauce, chilies, minced chicken, and shrimp.
-
The Result: The noodles soak up the dressing instantly, delivering a zesty, spicy explosion in every bite.
Spring Roll Filling
-
Texture Boost: Cut the soaked vermicelli into short strands and mix them with cabbage, carrots, and minced meat for your spring roll filling. They add volume and a satisfying texture that contrasts with the crispy wrapper.
Soups and Hot Pots
-
Durability: Because they are made from mung bean starch, they hold up incredibly well in hot broth. They won't disintegrate even if left in the soup for a while, making them perfect for "Sukiyaki" or "Tom Yum" soups.

Preparation Tips for Perfect Noodles
To get the best texture from your Double Dragon Bean Vermicelli 80g:
-
Soak First: Soak the dry noodles in room temperature water for 10-15 minutes until they are pliable.
-
Quick Blanch: Boil them for only 1-3 minutes. They cook very fast! Overcooking can make them too soft.
-
Rinse: If using for salads, rinse them immediately under cold water to stop the cooking process and keep them springy.
-
Cut: Kitchen scissors are your friend. The strands are very long, so snip them a few times to make them easier to eat.
