-
Step 1Cut the sweet potato glass noodles into shorter segments and soak in warm water for 20 minutes until softened.
-
Step 2Drain the softened glass noodles well.
-
Step 3Chop the scallions and slice the ginger.
-
Step 4Heat a little oil in a wok. Add the scallions and ginger, stir until fragrant.
