Ingredients:

• 3 bundles bean thread noodles
• 4 onions
• 1/2 cup tomatoes, diced
• 1 paprika, diced
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1-inch ginger, grated
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 cup green peas
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 potatoes
• 1/4 cup wood ears (dried fungus)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Noodles and Wood Ears:

   • Place the bean thread noodles in a bowl and cover them with very hot water. Let them soak for about 20 minutes or until they become soft and pliable.
   • In a separate bowl, pour boiling water over the wood ears and let them soak for 20 minutes until they soften as well.

2. Prepare Potatoes:

   • Boil the potatoes in a pot of water for approximately 10 minutes, then drain them.
   • Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them into thin fries-like strips.

3. Prepare Ingredients:

   • After 20 minutes, drain the soaked wood ears and thinly slice them.
   • In a large pan, sauté the onions with a bit of oil until they turn tender and translucent.

4. Cook the Spices:

   • Add the diced tomatoes, grated ginger, minced garlic, paprika, and turmeric to the pan with the sautéed onions. Stir well to combine the flavors.

5. Cook Potatoes and Vegetables:

   • Toss the sliced potatoes into the pan, ensuring they are evenly coated with the aromatic spices.
   • Next, add the green peas, sliced wood ears, bell pepper, and water to the pan. Cook everything together, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are fork-tender. If needed, add small amounts of water to prevent sticking.

6. Combine Noodles and Vegetables:

   • Drain the soaked noodles and chop them into smaller, more manageable pieces, roughly into thirds.
   • Add the chopped noodles to the pan with the cooked vegetables. Allow them to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, ensuring they are heated through and well incorporated with the other ingredients.

7. Serve:

   • Once everything is cooked to perfection, it’s time to serve up this delightful Tibetan feast! Plate the noodles and vegetables, ensuring each serving is brimming with color and flavor. Enjoy the aromatic blend of spices and textures in every bite.
