Ingredients

  • 8 Oz (one bag) Chinese Glass Noodles
  • 1 Large Red onions, Diced
  • 6 Cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 2 TBS Sesame Oil
  • 3 TBS Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 TBS Soy Sauce
  • 2 TBS Oyster Sauce
  • 1 Cup Chicken Stock

Directions

  1. There are many ways to cook glass noodles. they can be fried or boiled. But I like to soften them in hot water first and then finish cooking them in a sauce for maximum flavor. They absorb the sauce to get a wonderful flavor.

  2. So, first thing, in a large bowl, soak the entire contents of the noodles in VERY HOT water for 10 minutes.

  3. While the noodles are soaking, make the sauce… In a wok (or large frying pan), heat the sesame oil to just before it starts to smoke.

  4. Add the onions and saute for 5 minutes until they soften and turn translucent.

  5. Add the Garlic and saute for another 2 minutes.

  6. Add the brown sugar, soy sauce and oyster sauce and stir to mix.

  7. Add the Chicken Stock and raise the heat until the sauce begins to simmer

  8. Now, take the noodles from the hot water, drain, lay them on a cutting board and cut them into 3-4 inch pieces.

  9. Add these to the simmering sauce and mix well. Lower the heat to low, cover and simmer for 5 minutes more. All of the liquid should be absorbed into the noodles.

  10. Serve Hot and ENJOY!
