Mung bean noodles, also known as glass noodles or cellophane noodles, are a type of transparent noodle made from mung bean starch. When cooked, they become slippery and slightly chewy with a neutral flavor, readily absorbing the flavors of the sauces and broths they are cooked in. These gluten-free noodles are thin and delicate, appearing translucent or glassy when rehydrated. They are a popular ingredient in many Asian cuisines, prized for their versatility and light texture. Their mild flavor makes them a blank canvas in various dishes.

Mung bean noodles should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. An airtight container or resealable bag is ideal to prevent them from absorbing odors and moisture from the surrounding environment. Properly stored, they can last for several months or even up to a year. Check the "best by" date on the package for optimal freshness.
