Cabbage glass noodle stir fry is a quick homestyle side dish that takes 10 minutes to put together. The crisp cabbage and tender mung bean noodles are brought together with a savory sauce, making it satisfying and comforting to eat. {Vegan, Gluten-free adaptable}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cabbage glass noodle stir fry is not something you see often on a Chinese takeout menu. We call this type of dish \u5bb6\u5e38\u83dc, jia chang cai<\/em>, or homestyle cooking. They are simple dishes that use minimal everyday ingredients, so a home cook can throw it together even on a busy weekday evening.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most important components of an everyday Chinese dinner is vegetable dishes. In my family, my mom always cooks at least one, most of the time two, vegetable dishes to serve along with the main dish (usually a protein dish), plus a soup and steamed rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This cabbage glass noodle stir fry is one of my favorites Chinese vegetable stir fry recipes<\/a>. The tender glass noodles soak up the delicious sauce and pair perfectly with the crunchy cabbage. I can always polish a big plate of it in one sitting by myself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What type of noodles to use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Glass noodles<\/a> (\u7c89\u4e1d, fen si<\/em>) also called cellophane noodles, mung bean noodles, bean thread noodles, or Chinese vermicelli. They are different from regular Asian vermicelli noodles made from rice, as glass noodles are made with mung beans and have a more transparent appearance and a different texture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass noodles are usually sold in dried form. You need to soak them in boiling water to reconstitute them so they become tender. Then you can use them in soups, stir fried dishes, or spring rolls. Because glass noodles soak up whatever sauce you cook them in and become very flavorful, they are a great way to add texture and volume to a dish and make it even more delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I highly recommend using mung bean noodles in this dish. But if you don\u2019t have any, it\u2019s OK to use other thin types of vermicelli noodles such as rice vermicelli. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find glass noodles (mung bean vermicelli noodles) at Chinese grocery stores or most big Asian grocery stores such as H Mart. You can also purchase it on Amazon<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
