Cook the bean thread noodles according to the package instructions. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water. Cut the noodles into 2 to 3-inch lengths and set aside.

In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, cook the chicken and pork, stirring frequently, until browned and broken into smaller pieces, 8 to 10 minutes.

Add the carrots, all but 1 Tbs. of the green onions, the cabbage, ginger, garlic, peanuts, the 1/2 tsp. salt and the soy sauce. Cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Spread the mixture out onto a baking sheet and cool for 10 minutes.

notes
Dried bean thread noodles, also called cellophane noodles, are transparent threads made from ground mung bean flour and water. Rice stick noodles are formed from rice flour and water. Both can be found in Asian markets.
