So Hoon is glass noodles and Dried Bean Curd Skin or Dried Bean Curd Sheet is the 'skin' that forms on top of heated soy bean milk. It is usually available in it dried form and has to be soaked in water to reconstitute, unless it is used in soups. Rich in protein, it is ideal for use in a vegetarian diet.

Cellophane noodles (also known as Chinese vermicelli, bean threads, bean thread noodles, or glass noodles) are a type of transparent Asian noodle made from starch and water and are generally sold in dried form, boiled to reconstitute, then used in soups, stir fried dishes, or spring rolls. They are called "cellophane noodles" or "glass noodles" because of their appearance when dried, resembling celllophane, a clear material or a translucent light gray or brownish-gray color
This is my mom’s recipe and one of my favorite curry since young. You can also vary with dried prawns .
Ingredients
Soaked and drained bean curd sheet and glass noodles
1 Dried Bean Curd Sheet (break into small pieces and soak)
¾ cup soaked Glass Noodles/so hoon
10 prawns (discard head, leave shell intact )

To grind into a paste
1in fresh turmeric
8 dried chilies (soak in water for 20mins)
6 large shallots
2 small garlic
½ in ginger
If preferred you can add some pounded dried prawns into the dish
Direction:Heat oil, saute the grind ingredients until fragrant.Add in prawns and stir for another 5mins.Add in 2 cups water and leave to simmer gently.After about 5 mins add in coconut milk and seasoning .Stir in the bean curd pieces ,lemon grass and leave to simmer further.Add in soaked glass vermicelli only at the last min before closing the heat.Since the vermicelli will increase volume once added in the gravy ,make sure the gravy is not that thick.Finish off with curry leaves and calamansi (if using) and close fire.This curry will thicken once cooled.
