===Variations===
You could make this with fine [[Egg|egg]] vermicelli, if like me, you are not over-keen on [[Cellophane noodles|cellophane noodles]].
===Chef's note===
Using [[chilli bean sauce]] (which in itself is very salty) makes this, extremely delicious dish, a little too salty. I would be inclined to add chilli mash or plenty of fresh chillies instead of the [[chilli bean sauce]].
