Importance of the Noodles

I have made this a hundred times, just some mao gua, some dry shrimp, a slice of ginger, some stock and a couple pieces of meng bean noodles. This time, unfortunately, didn't turn out very well. The problem is the a new brand of noodles and it is not good, starchy; and it just about kill the dish, still eatable but not too enjoyable. Why did I take the 50 cents sale?!!!!!!!!!
