I’m sharing one of my very favorite side dish recipes today, Easy Sweet Potato (Glass) Noodles. I wouldn’t say it if it weren’t true…they are super easy and absolutely delicious. Serve them with all your favorite stir-fry, soups, and Thai dishes. You will find these noodles are called both sweet potato noodles and glass noodles.
Glass noodles are actually made from sweet potato starch and become clear when cooked. Some glass noodles are made from cornstarch, so be sure to check the ingredients if you have sensitivities to corn. I use ASSI Sweet Potato Noodles and SUNGIVEN Sweet Potato Noodles, made with only sweet potato starch.
It’s not uncommon for us to cook up these tasty noodles every other week…sometimes every week. I serve them a mixture of stir-fried veggies and tofu with some rice on the side, and then I like it all mixed on my plate.
