In technical term(I think), sotanghon noodles are cellophane noodles. I actually prefer sotanghon noodles over the rice or bihon noddles that’s used in Pancit dishes. It’s a childhood thing that I can’t really explain. Since I’ve turned into a curry fiend back in February, starting with a Curry Pork & Green Beans Stir-Fry, then the pork & tofu stir-fry, grilled curry pork chops, grilled bbq-curry chicken, curry pork & potatoes w/ saffron, chicken wings curry, and other curry dishes, I decided to add a curry flavor in this shrimp & sotanghon noodles dish too. I think I’ll make it again soon.

This looks yummy. Thanks for having that print button readily available. Saved me a few keystrokes on my kb. Hope the old recipes have the same function.
Just printed this and the Beef Short Ribs nilaga.. nice!
Hi @iska, perfect for Fall and winter
when do you add the curry paste? and is there a certain brand of curry paste that’s good?
@Christine, step #3. Sorry I missed that step. Any curry paste will do.
