apologies for long winded explanations.
I bought a big pack of about 8, individually wrapped, 50g dry portions of bean thread noodles today (Yangtse River - Longkou Vermicelli Bean Thread Noodles) it was in strange foreign packaging and there was virtually no information on there.

On the back of each pack it just says 'per 100g ' and then about 320 calories. but each pack says it weighs 50g , =.= so I don't know if this means 320 cals per 100g cooked; 100g dry or if each pack is meant to weigh 100g when cooked ? XD

I really don't know but I cooked one pack and it was a decent portion of noodles but if I went by the fact that it was 50g dry that would mean it was 160 calories for each pack which seems low.... but they are made out of water and beans soo.... they could be low? :s
Not sure how well I explained this.

    If they come dried, then the nutritional info will be for the dry product unless it has a separate one that specifies for cooked portions. Your package contains 160 calories of beans.

    Bean vermicelli is quite low compared to other carbs.
