Easy & Healthy Chinese Pasta “Pan Min” Recipe

This is a very simple way of preparing a highly nutritious snack or breakfast using ready-made (rolled) sheets of organic wheat dough. As the wheat dough sheets come in a frozen package, they need to be thawed before they can be used. You can do so by leaving them in the kitchen overnight until they become soft and pliable and ready to be used.
