 Never DisappointsJun 10, 2009
By wise owl
This is a wonderful food and a staple for my diet bc it doesn't cause any allergic reactions, any heartburn, any gastric probs. It is easy to prepare and quite bland in itself so that it absorbs flavor from anything you add it to..soup, stew, stir-fry. Also good cold.
I have tried a number of different companies selling SaiFun and Dynasty is the best in texture, size, and ease of preparation.
A favorite family dish is cooked/well-drained SaiFun wok-fried with small broccoli florets and sauteed mushrooms [garlic, garlicpepper,etc.]

 If you have never had bean threads, try theseJun 11, 2011
By East Coast Reader
I bought these on a whim and then cooked them up with a chicken stir-fry when I realized that I was out of the brown rice I usually use. Let's set the record straight first, though. These are NOT good for you, as another poster claimed. I bought them without looking at the ingredients and thought, hmm... noodles made from beans. Healthy! Then I realized that they are made from bean starch, potato starch, and water. I don't know where I fall on the whole "starch is bad for you" issue (I'd have to do more research) but if you religiously avoid starch, you won't want to use these. From my point of view, though, the worst I can say regarding their nutrition is that they are pretty much devoid of nutritional value.
But now for the good stuff... I know these are common in certain cuisines, but I had never before had them. They are very interesting - glossy and translucent, with a distinct gelatinous quality. They basically look like clear gelatin extruded into noodle shape, but they hold together. This texture can take some getting used to, as gelatinous texture is one texture, in particular, which Westerners are not used to and don't like (except for Jello, of course.) But, they absorb pretty much any flavor and I have found that if I make a stir-fry one day and refrigerate the leftovers and eat them the next day, these have become very flavorful. I will definitely keep using them. If you are looking for a way to change your basic stir-fry, you might try adding your meat and veggies to a base of these bean threads.

Dynasty Saifun Mung Bean ThreadsMar 05, 2012
By coloredgirl
These mung bean threads are great. I like to put them in soups. They come in a pack of three so you don't have to got through the hassle of trying to pull apart what you need. The serving size is perfect and it is a healthy alternative to rice or wheat pasta.
makes a mean pad woon senFeb 03, 2012

My favorite Thai restaurant is about an hours' drive away and gas prices being what they are I decided to try and figure out how to make my favorite entree from there, Pad Woon Sen. A couple of youtube videos later I had seen a demonstration of exactly how to make the recipe which includes my favorite element of the dish - the mung bean noodles.
I found these Dynasty noodles here on Amazon, gathered the remaining ingredients locally and it was pretty easy from start to finish. The recipe I used comes really close to the dish I've always enjoyed at the restaurant. I've posted the link in the comments section so you can see if you'd like to try this easy, tasty dish too.
As per other reviewer's comments, I'd have to agree these noodles are somewhat gelatinous in texture which I happen to like. They also firm, not unlike ordinary al dente pasta. I've had thinner versions of this kind of noodle but I think this is a nice size. Very mild flavor like rice that readily absorbs the taste of the seasoning or sauce it is paired with.
This pack of twelve is a really good value; I always check and compare prices first but at the time of my purchase this is a much better deal than I could find locally. One pack has three bundles of noodles and after soaking/cooking, one bundle tends to be more than enough for one person per meal.
Prior to ordering I had a small concern that because the noodles fine they may suffer breakage during shipping but as it turns out they shipped very well - double boxed, and all arrived in excellent condition.
Very pleased with this purchase and highly recommended.
