    Stir Fried Glass Noodles

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Have you ever tried glass noodles? Made from just sweet potato starch, they're truly remarkable. This stir fried glass noodles recipe made with grilled chicken and veggies is a personal favorite. This dish is a veggie lovers dream because you can customize it with your preferred vegetables. I've even swapped chicken for steak, and the results were absolutely delicious. It's a quick, easy dish that's sure to please everyone, including the little ones – I guarantee it! It's excellent when cooked on a Blackstone grill, but you can achieve the same delicious results using a large stovetop skillet. I also love these glass noodles in soup like this Glass Noodle Ramen.

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    Sweet potato noodles are an underrated noodle choice. The sweet potato starch provides a unique and slightly sweet twist to your glass noodle stir fry. This versatile dish allows you to customize it fully, from choosing your preferred protein and your favorite veggies to stir fry. You'll be wondering where the sweet potato glass noodles have been your whole life!

    Ingredients You Will Need

    Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs: offers a more tender and juicy texture than white breast meat. I love Grass Roots Coop for their chicken and you can use PENNYP to save 15%.

    Broccoli Slaw: is made from shredded broccoli stems and often includes shredded carrots and cabbage too.

    Snow Peas: add slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with other flavors and textures in any stir fry.

    Carrot Sticks: add a satisfying crunch and a touch of natural sweetness with a vibrant color.

    Red Bell Pepper: adds a natural sweetness to this dish.

    Green Onion: impart a mild, onion-like flavor and a touch of freshness.

    Sweet Potato Glass Noodles: offer a chewy and translucent texture, adding a unique twist to dishes. They're also naturally gluten free.

    Coconut Aminos: are a gluten-free and soy-free alternative to traditional soy sauce. It brings a rich umami flavor and a subtle saltiness and sweetness to a dish.

    Sesame Oil: has a nutty aroma and rich, savory flavor that enhance stir fries.

    Garlic: adds a savory note that enhances the dish with its bold and aromatic flavor.

    Sesame Seeds: provide a delightful crunch and a nutty, earthy flavor, adding texture to dishes.

    Rice Vinegar: imparts a tanginess to a dish while bringing out the overall brightness of the other flavors.

    Ginger Root: imparts a zesty, warm flavor that elevates the overall taste with a hint of spiciness and a deep aroma.

    Salt and Pepper: salt enhances the overall flavor of the dish and ground black pepper adds a gentle heat.

    Instructions

    Prepare glass noodles: by placing the glass noodles in a bowl and slowly pouring boiling water over, being sure to cover with water. After 10 minutes, drain the water and set the glass noodles aside.

    Season the chicken: with salt and pepper.

    Mix the sauce: in a measuring cup mix the coconut aminos, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger and sesame seeds, then set aside.

    Prepare the grill: by heating the Blackstone grill and add all the ingredients, except for the glass noodles.

    Cook the chicken and veggies: on the grill until the chicken starts to get crispy on the outside and reaches 165°F on the inside. Mix everything on the grill.

    Incorporate the glass noodles: with the chicken and vegetables and toss well.

    Add the sauce: and toss everything together, then let it cook together for a few minutes so the flavors get well blended.

    Enjoy!

    Recipe Tips and Tricks

    Don't overlook glass noodle preparation: Soak them in hot water according to the directions to ensure pliability before incorporating them into your dish.

    Gently handle glass noodles: Delicately toss all ingredients and sauce together to prevent breakage due to their delicate nature.

    Start by cooking chicken separately: Ensure optimal texture and even doneness by cooking the chicken separately before incorporating it with the vegetables.

    Recipe Variations

    Diversify protein choices: Opt for your preferred protein, varying between chicken, steak, shrimp, or meat-free tofu for an additional protein boost.

    Vary vegetable selection: Stir fries are great because you can use your favorite veggies. Consider incorporating options like broccoli, bok choy, green cabbage, mung bean sprouts, or water chestnuts for added variety.

    Switch out coconut aminos: Substitute coconut aminos for regular or gluten free soy sauce for a similar flavor profile.

    Blackstone grill or stovetop: This recipe is excellent when cooked on a Blackstone grill, but you can achieve the same delicious results using a large stovetop skillet.

    Storage Tips

    You can store stir fried glass noodles in the fridge for 4-5 days when placed in a sealed airtight glass container, and it's freezer-safe for up to 6 months.
