Mung bean vermicelli

Do you know how to call mung bean vermicelli in Teochew?  Some people call mung bean vermicelli as cellophane noodles. Taiwan Hokkien calls it tang hun 冬粉 and Cantonese calls it fan si1 粉絲

So do we call it dang1hung1 冬粉 or lêg8dao7hung2 綠豆粉绿豆粉 or dao7hung2 豆粉豆粉  or what?

Please listen to this video and hear what this Teochew chef from Swatow calls mung bean vermicelli.

He calls it hung2ciam1 粉纖粉纤 and ciam1 means fine and I imagine you know what is hung2 like as in bhi2hung2 米 for rice vermicelli.
