Loofah soup with dried shrimp and tanghoon

Veges..veges all the way..another entry about a delicious vege that we usually use to scrub our bodies during shower nyaaau~XD Loofah is oso my favourite, well, only when mi mama cooked it for me when im a lil toddler :) She usually will use an accompaniment of glass noodles (tanghoon) and dried shrimp yum2..

Tanghoon is a wee bit diff from from meehoon and korean glass noodle..these three are made of 3 diff ingredients..wheat flour, rice flour, and sweet potato flour..when you cook tanghoon and korean glass noodle, it'll become transparent, unlike meehoon where it'll became opaque huhu

We can make this done within 10 mins ait? :)

4 servings

Ingredients

a handful of tanghoon (soak in water until soft, estimated time about 10-15mins)
1.5 tbs dried shrimp (wash n soak in water like above)
1 long nice looking loofah..make sure to pick d sturdy one, if soft its a no-no
2 cloves garlic
