Cellophane Noodles

Cellophane Noodles

EverydayDry

Cellophane noodles, also called glass or bean thread noodles, are translucent starch-based strands made primarily from mung bean starch. These gluten-free noodles become semi-transparent and develop a springy, chewy texture when cooked, absorbing flavors from broths and sauces in dishes like stir-fries, spring rolls, and hot pots. While low in calories and protein, they provide a quick energy source due to their high carbohydrate content, and their neutral taste makes them versatile across Asian cuisines.
