20-Minute Glass Noodle Stir Fry

Gluten-Free Glass Noodle Stir Fry is a 20-minute meal loaded with vegetables and flavor! Add your favorite protein or serve it Vegetarian.

What are Glass Noodles?

Glass noodles also called cellophane noodles, bean thread noodles, sweet potato noodles, and crystal noodles, are usually a transparent noodle made from some type of starch and water. The most commonly used starches include mung bean starch, cassava, tapioca, yam, and potato. They are almost always sold dried with directions to reconstitute by boiling or soaking. 

For this recipe, I wanted to create a quick and easy gluten-free stir fry that is loaded with vegetables and can be on the table in just about 20 minutes!

Glass Noodle Stir Fry Ingredients:

• Glass Noodles
• Green Cabbage
• White Mushrooms
• Scallions
• Garlic
• Eggs
• Avocado Oil
• Tamari OR Soy Sauce
• Chili Garlic Paste
• OPTIONAL: Additional protein such as Shrimp, Chicken, Pork, Beef.

How to Make Glass Noodle Stir Fry

1. Begin by preparing the glass noodles according to the package directions and set aside.
2. Prep the vegetables by slicing cabbage, mushrooms, and scallions. Chop garlic, beat eggs, and measure oil, tamari, and garlic chili paste.
3. Quickly scramble egg in a bit of the oil and remove.
4. Add cabbage, mushrooms, garlic, some of the Tamari, and a pinch of salt to Wok. Stir fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until veggies begin to soften.
5. Add cooked noodles, scallions, remaining seasonings, and cooked egg. Stir fry an additional 1 to 2 minutes until heated through.
6. Adjust seasoning if necessary, serve immediately, and Enjoy!

Recipe Tips:

• Save time by cooking the glass noodles in advance. Rinse, drain, and store in a sealed container in the fridge until ready to use (up to 48 hours ahead of time).
• Save time by purchasing already shredded cabbage and sliced mushrooms.
• Want a spicy kick? I recommend some Sriracha or my Homemade Chinese Chili Oil.
• You do not have to use a Wok to make this stir fry. You can use an oversized frying pan – I recommend at least a 14″ pan or you will have to cook this dish in batches.
• Any neutral, high-heat oil can be substituted for Avocado Oil (I recommend refined sesame oil OR peanut oil). You could even use Ghee if you are OK with the nutty flavor it adds.
• This is a Vegetarian dish but you can easily add any additional protein, such as beef, pork, chicken, or shrimp. If you are looking to save time, your quickest options are adding some shredded rotisserie chicken or quickly seasoned shrimp (as they shrimp will cook in the Wok in about 2 to 3 minutes).
