EN: Vermicelli noodles; Glass noodles
This is the 'glass noodle' of the Philippines. It's what makes that birthday soup special, often with chicken and patola. It looks like a tangled mess of plastic wire before you cook it, but becomes soft and slippery, perfect for slurping. Best served when you're sick or on a rainy day.
From Hokkien Chinese 'soa' (mountain) + 'tang-hun' (winter powder/noodles), referring to noodles made in mountainous regions during winter.
The main ingredient for the popular Filipino dish 'Sotanghon Soup'.
