Ohhhh, I did not realize about the Taiwanese cabbage if you mentioned it. When I was at the Asian market looking a kind elderly woman told me it was better and we both bought some. I love when that happens. I will try to use it whenever I can from now on. 🙂

So happy to hear you like the recipe! Yes, it’s the best to use Taiwanese cabbage, which is the one I used in the recipe.
It’s tender and sweet, perfect for stir fry dishes like this 🙂

In reply to Dona Patterson. Mung bean noodles are a bit more special and most of the time you need to get it from an Asian grocery store. However, you can use dried rice noodle (the thin type), which is more common. Many grocery store has it at the Asian aisle.

Maggie,
Oh my, this simple dish was so very good! It was addicting and I wish I had made 5 times as much so I could eat more! I used Taiwanese cabbage and am so glad I did because it was a bit more tender and sweeter than regular cabbage, but also I still have a lot and am going to make more of this :). Thank you for this winner!

This recipe looks so tasty and easy to make. Want to try it. Are mung bean noodles available at most grocery stores? I live in Florida and usually shop at Publix. Love your site and have pinned & tried a few of your recipes. Thanks.

Hi Helen, no, the dish is not supposed to be spicy. The Sichuan peppercorns and the chilis add aroma but don’t really add spiciness. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the dish 🙂
Have a great day!

Love this dish.

I cooked this with the Sichuan peppercorns and the chilis but the dish wasn’t spicy. I use a regular deep skillet. I don’t have a wok. But I followed your instructions. Is it supposed to be spicy?

I’m glad to hear you tried out this dish! It takes a bit time to prepare the noodles, but you’ll get used to the workflow very fast once you get used to it 🙂
Can’t wait to hear what you’ll cook the next. Hope you have a great weekend Rob 🙂

Cooking/eating alone tonight and made a half batch of option #2 (garlic) – wonderful flavors, fairly simple, and goes together in a snap. When cooking for another I’ll be sure to prepare and serve this one again. Had Maggies’s Mapo Pork as a side and completed the meal. I’m stuffed and happy.
