Glass noodles

Glass noodles, also known as cellophane noodles or bean thread noodles, are prized for their delicate texture and their ability to soak up flavour while remaining light and slippery. Made from mung bean starch or sometimes sweet potato starch, these translucent noodles become beautifully glossy when cooked. Common in Chinese, Korean, Thai, and Vietnamese cuisine, they’re incredibly versatile — ideal for quick stir-fries, refreshing salads, hot pots, or light broths. Naturally gluten-free and low in fat, glass noodles are perfect for those looking for a lighter alternative that doesn’t compromise on taste or satisfaction.

FAQs: Glass noodles

Are glass noodles the same as rice noodles?

No, glass noodles are made from mung bean or sweet potato starch and turn translucent when cooked, while rice noodles are made from rice flour and stay opaque.

How do I cook glass noodles?

Soak in hot water for 5–10 minutes or boil briefly, then rinse and toss directly into your stir-fry, soup, or salad.

Do glass noodles have much flavour?

They’re quite neutral on their own, but absorb the flavours of sauces, stocks, and marinades extremely well.

Are glass noodles suitable for gluten-free diets?

Yes – they’re naturally gluten-free, but it’s always wise to check packaging for any added ingredients or cross-contamination warnings.

Nissin Demae Ramen Shrimp Instant Noodles 100g

I ordered a package from you as a present for a friend who is going to Japan. I ordered a complete package to get her started and was pleased with the contents. The bag was good and sturdy and it was good as the ingredients were heavy. Order arrived very quickly and I was very pleased.

Excellent Product

I have had this gochujang paste before and use it on everything from a spicy roast chicken, salmon fillets and beef mince to marinades and dressings. It elevates everything to super-tasty. Morueats has a great range of products (particularly if you don't live in a city or near to an asian market) and delivered quickly.
