Glass noodles, also known as cellophane noodles or bean threads, are translucent, thin noodles made from starch, typically mung bean starch, potato starch, or sweet potato starch. When cooked, they become slippery and slightly chewy, offering a delicate, neutral flavor that readily absorbs the flavors of the accompanying sauces and ingredients. Their clear, glassy appearance makes them visually appealing in a variety of dishes. They are also naturally gluten free making them a great substitute for wheat noodles.
