About

Beanthread noodles are light and easy to use. They are a good alternative to noodles made with wheat. The silky texture of the noodles is a nice contrast to the rich crabmeat. Be sure to get the freshest crabmeat available. This dish literally takes about 15 minutes to prepare and even less to stir-fry in the wok. Serve with rice or as an unusual first course.
