Glass Noodle Casserole With Shiitakes Recipe

This quick and easy Chinese-inspired side dish is bursting with flavor! Delicate glass noodles (also known as cellophane, transparent, or bean thread noodles) soak up the savory sauce beautifully. Made with mung bean starch, these noodles transform from stiff bundles into clear, slippery strands when cooked. This recipe uses the smallest available noodle bundles for optimal texture. Perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion!

How to Make Glass Noodle Casserole With Shiitakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Soak 2 oz (55g) of glass noodles in a bowl of boiling water for 10-15 minutes, or until soft and completely transparent. Drain well and discard any remaining white pieces.
  3. While noodles soak, prepare the vegetables: thinly slice 8 oz (225g) shiitake mushrooms, 1/2 cup chopped scallions, and 1/4 cup shredded carrots.
  4. In a small, deep casserole dish, layer the cooked glass noodles, shiitake mushrooms, scallions, and carrots.
  5. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce evenly over the vegetables and noodles.
  6. Pour 1/2 cup of chicken stock over the casserole, ensuring the noodles and vegetables are just covered. Add more stock if needed.
  7. Bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, or until heated through and slightly browned on top.
  8. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped cilantro before serving (optional).
