In the "you never know what you'll find in the stores around here" department, I saw something different the other day.
They were labeled "Dried Bean Threads," but they were not what I would have expected. Before, when I have seen the term "dried bean threads," it always applied to the thin "glass" or "cellophane" noodles made from mung beans. These, however, were wide, irregular, and yellowish, and made from soy. The best description I can give is that they looked like the strands of egg in egg-drop soup, only longer (yea, folded) and dried.
Are any of you familiar with these? If so, what are some typical dishes for them, and how should they be prepared and used?
Thanks!

If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?
