I had the same confusion, but I think the author meant a 1:9 ratio by WEIGHT. 120g starch : 1080g water (4.5 cups, water is 240g per cup) is a 1:9 ratio. You are correct that the ratio by volume is different.

Hi. I came here searching for the ratio of starch to water. You mentioned that your favorite ratio is 1:9, but the recipe that follows is 4.5 water to 1 starch, which is actually 2:9.

Rich,
Next time you can drop me a photo. Local restaurant may have some own creations. I can't get it base on current information.

Thank you Elaine, the noodles turned out great! I always get these at our local Sichuan restaurant. The serve a similar sauce, but they add some kind of dark crumbly salty stuff that I really like. Any idea what it might be? When I asked they winked and said that's why you come to the restaurant!

Absolutely delicious! Thank you Elaine!! I first made this to satisfy special request of my Chinese husband who wanted a this dish as a taste of home. I now make this several times per week! We like the sauce on cold noodle dishes, too. Easy, quick, and VERY tasty!

In reply to Darren.

I made 2 batches using different ratios I've seen in different recipes.
1st batch = 1 cup starch + 4.5 cup water
2nd batch = 0.5 cup starch + 3.5 cup water
Surprisingly, both batches turned out just fine. The firmness is different, but both held their form and tasted great.

Just made this today because I have a few bags of the mung bean starch and didn't know how to use it before it expires. I found this recipe and decided to try it out. It's so simple and the instructions here are well written. As written, it's vegetarian . I think next time I make this, I'll add some protein such as grilled chicken or shrimp. Thanks for sharing.
