Product detailed description

Glass dried noodles, also known as Chinese noodles or crystal noodles, are a type of transparent noodles made from starch (pea, corn, green bean) and water. They got their name because of the translucent appearance they acquire after being poured with hot water. They are very easy to prepare. After being poured with boiling water, you just need to let them stand for 3 minutes. They do not have a strong taste, so they are suitable for various dishes. They are probably most often used in soups, cold salads and spring rolls. They are often added to fried meat, vegetables and tofu. They easily absorb spices and liquids, such as fish or soy sauce. They are healthy because they do not contain wheat or gluten. In China, where they originate, they are a very popular ingredient. They are served in bowls with various ingredients, such as vegetables or shrimp. Locals use them as an ingredient in fillings for various dumplings, especially in vegetarian cuisine. They are also popular in other parts of Asia, especially in Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, Korea, India, Vietnam, Pakistan, Thailand, Hawaii, etc. Due to their heavier weight, they are usually served at the bottom of a plate or bowl and the other ingredients are piled on top.
