INGREDIENT
These noodles are made primarily from mung bean starch, combined with potato, sweet potato, and pea starch for stability and elasticity. All ingredients are plant-based and chosen for their purity and clean taste. Once cooked, the noodles become clear and glossy, which is the signature characteristic of premium bun tau used in Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine. This ingredient list ensures safe use for customers of all ages, including those who follow simple, plant-forward diets.
UNIQUE FLAVOR
Bean Thread Vermicelli stands out for its neutral yet satisfying flavor. It carries a mild taste that blends seamlessly into savory broths, bright herbal salads, or rich stir-fry sauces. The texture becomes soft, bouncy, and pleasantly chewy after soaking or cooking. This balance of tenderness and elasticity is what separates high-quality bun tau from other glass noodles on the market. Because it absorbs flavors effortlessly, every bite tastes rich and fully seasoned, even in simple soups or quick weeknight meals.
SUITABLE FOR ALL AGES
Bun tau is easy to digest and fits well into a variety of dietary preferences, which makes it suitable for families, seniors, young adults, and children. It can be used in light dishes such as chicken broth soups or refreshing salads. It also holds up well in heartier meals like beef stir-fries or seafood hotpots. Many Denver customers enjoy these noodles because they offer a gluten-free alternative to wheat-based noodles, and they are gentle enough for everyday use. They also work beautifully in meal prep portions due to their ability to maintain firmness over time.

Directions
How to Prepare
Soak the noodles in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes until soft.
Drain well.

If cooking directly in broth, add the noodles during the last few minutes to prevent over-softening.
Cooking Tips
For stir-fries, soak slightly less to maintain firmness.
For soups, allow the noodles to simmer briefly so they absorb the broth flavor.
Cut the noodles into shorter lengths if needed for salads or fillings.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity.
Keep sealed after each use to maintain quality.
