Cooking tips
- Slice the square fish cake into long, thin strips so it blends seamlessly with the bean sprouts, ensuring even texture in every bite.
- Soaking glass noodles in cold water for an hour instead of boiling them allows them to fully absorb the sauce, resulting in a much chewier and moister texture.
- Steam the bean sprouts briefly with just a small amount of water before adding them at the end to preserve their crispness and prevent them from losing their fresh crunch.
