Thai mung bean noodle soup with shrimp

Thai mung bean noodle soup with shrimp or "Wun Sen Kuay-Tiaw Tom Yum Gung" in Thai. I made it again with mung bean noodle. I made this soup with rice noodle with fish last time. http://amporn-oleski.blogspot.com/2010/04/thai-small-rice-noodle-soup-with-ground.html I have to be honest at this time that I am lazy to make fried garlic. I bought fried garlic from Asian grocery. That save some more time to make the dish. If you can't find it on the market you can see the old entry of my blog.
