Aloha Relle. How is this different than chicken long rice?

[@KeepingItRelle]

Different ingredients. Chicken long rice is chicken, rice noodles, green onion, and broth. This has a different flavor and ingredients.

[@Luke.Cooking]

@@KeepingItRelle mahalo for the reply. Didn’t your chicken long rice recipe call for mung bean noodles.
