Description

Cellophane noodles, also known as glass noodles or transparent noodles, are a type of thin and translucent pasta made primarily from mung bean starch, tapioca, or potato. Their light texture and translucent appearance make them very popular in Asian cuisine.

This ingredient originates from East and Southeast Asian countries, such as China, Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam, where they are used in soups, stir-fries, salads, and spring rolls.

Cellophane noodles are known for being a low-calorie and gluten-free option, in addition to being easily digestible. They absorb the flavors of the ingredients they are cooked with very well, making them an ideal complement for a wide variety of recipes.

In Latin America, their names may vary by region, with common names such as glass noodles, transparent noodles, or soy noodles (although the latter may refer to a different variant).
