My mom immigrated from the Philippines, so we would often eat Filipino pancit, a well-known glass noodles dish. I took her version and added my own touches to make it easier and a little healthier. —Jasmin Baron, Livonia, New York

Asian Veggie Glass Noodle Tips

What are glass noodles?

Glass noodles (sometimes called cellophane or bean thread noodles) are made of mung bean starch and water and are translucent when cooked. They have a gelatinous texture and are perfect for absorbing sauce and broth.

What is the difference between glass noodles and rice noodles?

Glass noodles and rice noodles are made from different ingredients but can be used very similarly. Rice noodles are made from rice flour and function more similarly to classic Italian pastas in texture and use.

What other glass noodle recipes can I make?

Glass noodles can be used in other recipes, including pork and noodle soup, Thai watermelon salad and turkey stir-fry. Research contributed by Maggie Knoebel, Taste of Home Culinary Assistant
