I am a single working full time mom of 2 teenagers who can eat their weight weekly. In addition to that, we are always pressed for time in the evening between sports and school work. I hate to serve "breakfast for dinner" more then a couple times a month. I am sure there are a few of you out there who do this too! Anyhow, my kids and I love this meal, it is fast, easy and tasty. *Cook's Notes: Bean threads, or cellophane noodles, are dried green mung beans that become translucent "noodles" when soaked briefly in hot water. You'll find them in various sizes in Asian sections of supermarkets and at Asian grocery stores. Recipe adapted from East-West Flavors II Cookbook, published by the West Los Angeles Japanese-American Cultural League. NOTE: I adopted this recipe from the Zaar account and I wanted to leave in the origonal posters comments since many might find them helpful.(kiwidutch)
