Korean Bean Thread Sesame Noodles with Vegetables

Bean thread noodles are made from the starch of the mung bean and, when cooked, they are almost transparent. This simple to prepare recipe is my version of a popular Korean dish. What makes it memorable is the combination of lace-like noodles and exotic mushrooms, an unusual mixture of tastes and textures. The dried mushrooms and cloud ears are available at Chinese grocers and it is well worth the effort to obtain them.
