This dish uses noodles made from sweet potato starch. It is usually served as a main dish with rice. Vegetables and meat or fish cake are usually mixed in, so you can easily modify by omitting meat to create a vegan-friendly dish.

Since the noodles themselves are made from sweet potato starch, they’re naturally gluten-free and have a lower glycemic index as opposed to wheat or rice noodles.

The only caveat is that they need to be soaked and pre-boiled for about ten minutes. They won’t break apart like other noodles. On the plus side, though, they won’t stick to your pot when boiling, so once you have them in the pot, just boil and rinse when done. You do not need to be stirring a boiling pot of water.
