Asian cuisine has been very popular in Russia for many years. Among the abundance of sauces, seasonings, seaweed and seafood, a separate place is occupied by Asian noodles, so beloved in the East and so unlike our pasta. Undoubtedly, one of the most interesting is glass noodles, or funchose, recipes with which you can prepare a lot of interesting and bright dishes with a unique Asian flavor.
Real Asian dishes are prepared not only in restaurants, but also in home kitchens. And authentic products can be bought in almost any supermarket in the country. Despite the spread of Asian food in Russia, many still confuse some of its varieties, in particular funchose and rice noodles. In fact, these are completely different products both in taste and in the method of preparation.
Rice noodles are made from rice flour, and funchose is made exclusively from starch, usually legumes, but sometimes rice or potato.
If in dry form these noodles are similar to each other, then when cooking you will definitely see the difference. Rice will become snow-white, but starchy funchose will become completely transparent. That is why it is called glass.
Due to its composition and lack of flour, funchose is a healthier option for noodles. In addition, such noodles are bland and practically have no taste of their own, but they perfectly absorb the aromas of other products. That is why funchose is rarely prepared as a side dish or as an independent dish. It is usually accompanied by sauces, meats, seafood, vegetables and spices.
The most popular way to prepare funchose is to boil and mix with other ingredients. However, fried glass noodles are also delicious and have an unusual crunchy texture.
Since funchose is prepared very quickly, it does not need to be boiled before frying, but it will need to be soaked.
Crispy funchose can be served with fried chicken, vegetables, seafood.
Combine all the salad ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate for a couple of hours to mix the flavors and aromas of the dish.
If you want to add even more flavor to the glass noodles, prepare a salad with funchose and large shrimp.

Boil the noodles, cut the cucumber into strips or grate on a special Korean grater. Combine the noodles, cucumber, squeezed garlic and carrots. Season the salad with sesame seeds and soy sauce.
Soy sauce will perfectly complement funchose, impregnating it with its bright salty taste.

Pour in soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil.
Add finely chopped garlic and chili.
Heat the rest of the spices for 3-4 minutes in a hot frying pan and add to the pan. Try the dressing and add salt or vinegar to taste. Bring to a boil again, remove from heat. Now the funchose dressing should cool down.
The funchose dish is soaked with the dressing for 15-20 minutes.
This dressing, which I highly recommend, features boiling oil. The instant heat releases the flavors and aromas of each ingredient, and the funchose comes out great.
Place the kettle and a frying pan of oil (a little) on the stove.
Cut the meat into long thin slices and quickly fry in a pan until tender. Pour boiling water over the noodles, cover and leave for 10 minutes. Then drain the water, place the noodles in a colander and let the water drain.
Cut the bell peppers and cucumbers into strips, grate the carrots on a special grater (either on a simple grater, or cut into thin strips). Chop a small bunch of cilantro greens. Put everything in a large bowl. Add soy sauce, sesame oil and stir.
Transfer the noodles to a bowl (you can squeeze the liquid out of it and tear or cut it into pieces).
On top, in the center of the noodle pile, place the chopped garlic. Heat the oil. Pour it over the garlic. Stir the salad well.
Add vinegar, freshly ground pepper, and coriander seeds, ground between your fingers.
Stir the salad well and leave it in the refrigerator for an hour, brew.

Then the cilantro needs to be rinsed and chopped. Add greens to shrimps with vegetables, add boiled funchose to the same place, mix and let the salad with funchose noodles infuse for about 1 hour.
I put the funchoza in a bowl so that I would not be distracted by this later, but simply pour water over it when needed.
I washed the mushrooms, let the water drain.
I cut off the legs of the mushrooms, which stick out, but did not completely remove them.
And I cut them into such plates.
I poured a little sunflower oil (50-70 g) into the pan and put the same amount of butter.
She let the butter melt well and mixed them.
I poured chopped mushrooms into the melted butter. I kept them in a frying pan for about 10 minutes, no more, in order to preserve the taste of the mushrooms. Stir them occasionally.
At this time, while the mushrooms are fried, I prepared the sauce. First I grated the cheese on a fine grater.
The result is such a pile of cheese.
Poured 20% cream into a cup.
After that, you need to pour boiling water over the funchose and close the lid so that it brews well.
Now pour the mushrooms with cream and sour cream.
Once again, I mixed everything well.
This is how the brewed funchose looks at this point. The manufacturer suggests rinsing it in cold water, but I didn't, and everything went well). I just poured it into a colander and let the water drain.
Now, using a fork, I put it in the mushrooms.
I stir, and that's it, the dish is ready! I also want to say that this dish is very light, nutritious, my gastritis stomach takes it very well. It looks like regular vermicelli, but the taste is completely different.
