Pairing napa cabbage and bean thread noodles / mung bean noodles in a mixed vegetable soup dish called chap chai is quite common in Singapore.
Both ingredients are fairly cheap but bulky so this dish can go a long way. To enhance the flavour, sometimes I will add a small piece of fermented bean curd.
A recession-friendly recipe.
