Tang Hoon Soup
Tang hoon (cellophane noodles/mung bean vermicelli/glass noodles/dong fen/冬粉) is one of my favourite Chinese noodles. I love cooking with tang hoon not just for its lovely chewy texture, but also for its ease of storage (it is sold in the dried form) and cooking. Being neutral in taste, it also absorbs the delicious broth the soup it is cooked in. In this homely tang hoon soup, I am using home-made ikan bilis broth.

This is an small individual sized bundle of glass noodles. My pantry can never be complete without them. You just need to soak the glass noodle until softened and then discard the water. The softened glass noodles cooks within 10 seconds of putting in the boiling water.
One of my favourite one-dish meals using tang hoon is to make this fish ball noodle soup. The all-natural ikan bilis broth only needed 15 minutes to cook – prolonged simmering may result in bitter broth. Tang Hoon Soup (冬粉鱼丸汤) is one recipe I know I can fall back on during busy nights, as I can pull it off in 30 minutes. Don’t forget to add fried shallots oil, fried lard or fried garlic oil as a finishing touch – it makes a world of difference to this humble dish.

I love chinese soups, but I have never tried this one. I will prepare it tonight.
Great recipe for a simple and healthy meal. Tang Hoon is also one of my favourite noodle because it has low Glycemic Index, so you won’t feel hungry for a longer period of time.
ya i agree..Chen ..
Where did you buy the fish dumplings from?
Wet market or supermarket…
Loved this simple dish – I believe the fish balls and fish dumplings would also impart flavour to the soup…oh, and I also like to add a little bit of Tong Chai.
冬粉鱼丸汤,好好吃哦。。
Do I need to cook the dong chai? Or just wash it no need to cook?
just rinse before putting in the bowl & then pour the hot soup over. No need to cook.
