Some day when you're sick of Asian savory rood with rice, try deep frying some bean threads. Best way is to put them in the hot oil and plan to jump back so you won't fall over the cat or anything. They swell way up and get lovely and crispy. You serve them next to the savory food instead of under it so they'll stay crispy.
