    Glass Noodles – Also known as cellophane noodles, fensi, or bean thread noodles, you can easily find them in the Asian section of any grocery store.

    These gluten-free noodles magically turn clear like glass once cooked.

    For The Sauce – You will need dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and water.

    I prefer to use low-sodium soy sauce, but you can use regular soy sauce as well.

    Oyster sauce adds a rich and savory flavor to the dish.

    Fish sauce adds a salty umami flavor which takes the dish to another level.

    Veggies – I add carrot, cabbage, and scallions in this recipe, but feel free to add more veggies of your choice such as mushrooms, red and yellow bell peppers, broccoli, snow peas, spinach, etc.

    Protein – I added boneless skinless chicken and eggs to this recipe. You can substitute the chicken with beef, shrimp, or pork. Keep in consideration that the time of cooking will be different for different meat.

    Others – You will also need vegetable oil, corn starch, garlic, onion, ground black pepper, and green onions.

    For Garnish – Garnish these Thai glass noodles with chopped scallions, cilantro, or some fresh Thai red chilies.

    To make these noodles gluten-free, replace dark soy sauce with tamari or coconut amnios and skip adding fish sauce.

    Storage Suggestions
