This is a very tasty dish, it is gluten free since the glass noodles are made of sweet potato starch. In this dish I added some slice chicken, shitake mushrooms, bok choy and lots of Thai basil. This dish has a touch of sweet and spiciness. It is delicious, and you have it all in one dish! It seems more complicated that really it is…I like to cook all the ingredients by steps since different ingredients require different time of cooking, once they are cooked you just need to put them together. The good thing is that you just need a big wok pan.
Ingredients:
1 large chicken breast, thinly sliced
4 to 5 garlic cloves, finely minced
½ tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
6-7 dry shiitake mushrooms
2-3 carrots, sliced
½ onion sliced
½ bunch bok choy, cut in approximately 1 in
1 tablespoon olive oil
Soy sauce to taste
½ teaspoon sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
½ teaspoon chili oil
½ tablespoon sesame oil
Thai basil to taste
Glass noddle
Method:
Marinate the chicken with the garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, salt and pepper. Leave in the refrigerator for approximately ½ hour to 1 hour.
Soak the dry shiitake mushrooms in 1/3 cup warm water. When soft, squeeze the water and slice. Keep the water for later use.
Cook the glass noodle in boiling water for 5 to 6 minutes or until it turn transparent and soft. Drain the water in a colander and run cold water through. Set aside.
In a wok, sauté the chicken in high heat, making sure that is cooked throughout. Remove from the heat and set aside. In the same pan add the carrot and 1 to 2 tablespoons of water, cook until the carrots are slightly soft. Remove and add to the chicken.
Add olive oil to the pan and the sliced onion and shiitake mushroom, sauté until slightly golden brown, remove and add to the chicken and carrot bowl.
Now add the bok choy to the pan and sauté for a couple of minutes and again remove it by placing together with the chicken, carrot and mushroom bowl.
Place in the wok the water where the mushrooms were soaked, the soy sauce and the sugar. Once starts to boil toss in the glass noddle, and mix gently until the noodle is evenly coated with the sauce. Add the mixture of chicken and vegetables to the noodle. Mix gently. Add the chili oil, sesame oil and the Thai basil. Toss gently and remove from the heat. Serve hot.
Did you know that there are many varieties of glass noodles in Asian cuisine? These noodles can be made from yam, mung bean, sweet potato, yucca starch.
Thank you for stopping by Simple Recipes and have a great week!
Ooooh….I love this. It’s a popular dish in Korea. My mom used to cook this in chicken soup with sweet corn and we all loved it. But the noodles she used is the finer ones.
I also love glass noodles a lot & this tasty stir-fry is a real delightful & well-flavoured dinner: easy does it here and not to mention: tasty, tasty, tasty!
This is a dish that would become a favorite in the house. I like the fact that it is Gluten-Free.
I love those glass noodles. We Filipinos make a dish called pancit using glass noodles sometimes. =D
lovely recipe Juliana!
I love shiitake mushrooms in noodles because they make the noodles more flavorful!
This is the perfect dish for the warmer weather. Love the marinated chicken and Thai basil, the flavour would be so refreshing. I’m salivating just looking at your pictures!
This recipe sounds wonderful!
Delicious! Glass noodles and Thai basil..I am no in! My pot of Thai basil is still growing so I’m looking forward to making some stir fried noodles with thai basil pretty soon! Thanks for sharing!
Juliana, can I come over for lunch? You’ve cooked my favorite glass noodles and my favorite prawns:D
Yummy! I love basil too! Must be a very fragrant dish!
Hi Juliana,
I love noodles and your combination of flavours is absolutely amazing and delicious!
Cheers,
Lia.
I really like those noodles but I do find them cute and funny. This looks like a really beautiful and flavor dish for sure. Have a great week!
I know I would love this bowl of deliciousness Juliana! Glass noodles are scrumptious and so are all the good things you put in this dish.
I have never tried cooking Thai, but these noodles look so mouthwatering I regret I haven’t. This looks like one delicious meal Juliana!
I’m bookmarking this delicious looking dish for the next time I need a glutenfree option. I love the sound of the glass noodles made with sweet potato- sounds tasty!
That sounds like a delicious and complete meal. Made me drool!
Sounds amazing, but I’ve never seen glass noodles in our local store. Where do you buy yours?
I grow Thai Basil- just love it! I wish I was having this for dinner tonight, all the veggies and noodles look so good;-)
I like stir-frying glass noodles with my wok too, though it is usually Chinese or Korean style. No bias against Thai style especially loving yours with veggie, mushrooms and of course the the basil.
This looks delicious! It has been quite a while since I last had any glass noodles! Love your version! Thanks for sharing! Have a great week!
I love the basil into the noodles. Thanks for the idea. I have the basil leaves growing in my garden and am going to use them to try out this noodles recipe.
I always order this at Korean restaurants! It’s so delicious!
Wow, your recipe looks absolutely delicious. I love glass noodles glazed in that delicious sauce, next to little bits of meat and vegetables infused with such great flavors!
Have a nice week!
Sweet potato noodles are one of my favorite noodles, always keep some in the pantry. Love that you have lots of veggies in the dish.
I love all the veggies in this dish! It looks like the perfect meal. Hope you’re having a great week, my friend!
Glass noodles, especially those made with sweet potatoes, are my favourite among noodles. I also usually make it with chicken and vegetables and Thai sweet basil is one of my favourite herbs, so your noodles look particularly appetising for me.
Beautiful meal!!! Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat Eaters
Nice dish! I love glass noodles, but oddly enough rarely use them. Strange. This recipe is actually pretty simple when you read it – and fairly quick. And it has such terrific flavor, too! Really good – thanks.
Chicken and basil is a combination that is hard to beat
I have never tried glass noodles, I will have to keep an eye out for them
I love when the recipe requires only a big wok pan. Fabulous!

Wow, I didn’t know that glass noodles were made from sweet potato starch! This dish looks delish, I’ll definitely have to try it
Such an interesting post! I did not know that it was best to stir-fry some of the veggies separately.
It looks beautiful and you make it seem so easy to make.

This also looks like Korean Japchae but the basil and chicken in it makes it Thai :p
I love class noodles! I thought it was japchae too!
But adding basil and chicken sounds so good, too!
