Yam Woonsen (Spicy Shrimp Salad With Glass Noodles)
I like to have this dish for dinner and I eat only this salad nothing else. Glass noodles make me full so I can eat it without rice. I like to add a lot of roasted peanuts because without peanuts it wouldn’t taste so good.

100grams glass noodles
30grams peanut

Tips
1.You have to cook the glass noodles in boiling water and after draining the water off immediately put the noodles in a cold water bowl. Then drain the water off and cut the glass noodles for few times just to shorten it.
2.The peanut can be roasted or deep fried.
3.Sometimes dried shrimp is too hard you have to soak in the water for few minutes and remove.
4.When you cook pork in 50 ml water after its cooked there will be some water remains. You can use it as stock so your salad is not too dry but you also able to drain if off if you don’t like.
