The Ingredients
Glass Noodles
These noodles are easy to cook and are really chewy and delicious! As mentioned above, they are usually made from potato starch but they can be made from other starches too. You can find them at local grocery stores or look online here!
Veggies
I used zucchini, broccoli, onion, and garlic for a simple and mild flavor but you can always add more! You can add veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, or shredded carrot! The possibilities are endless really. If you have access to it, some tempeh or tofu would be great in this dish too!
Seasonings
The seasonings for this dish are classic and simple! I used traditional seasonings like soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and chili flakes. I really love the flavor these ingredients produce but you could always try another traditional asian dressing or seasoning.
