What do their noodles taste like?
This is my first time trying a wide flat version of glass noodles and to no surprise, these Rothy Glass Noodles were chewy, bouncy and delicious! Their noodles are about 1.5 inches wide.
When you receive them, they are translucent and grey in colour. Then when they are boiled, they come out clear and very bouncy.
The red pepper sauce is sweet, very spicy and absolutely scrumptious! It possesses a smoky flavour from the red pepper flakes. The sauce is aromatic, smooth and luscious over the noodles. I really enjoyed this as a meal and I highly recommend them if you are a big spice lover.
What is the texture like?
The texture of these Korean extra wide glass noodles is incredibly chewy and delicious! Probably one of the best noodles types I’ve ever tried – and trust me, I’ve never a lot of noodle types! Just search “noodles” on the blog and you will see how many I have had. They are overwhelmingly bouncy and soft – the perfect noodle texture.
In addition, when you take a bite into the noodle you will taste that smoky sweet spicy flavour immediately as the noodles absorb sauce excellently!
They don’t go soggy!
The best part about these noodles is that they do go soggy easily! I tested them by overboiling them past the instructed time and I kept the noodles soaking in the sauce overheat for about 10 minutes. As a result, no soggy noodles! They were still very chewy, bouncy, and delicious!
Quick to cook!
If you are thinking these noodles take long to boil due to the wide shape, well you’re in a for a surprise! They only require 5 minutes cooking time - that is it!
If you are cooking them in the red sauce, they only take an additional 3-4 minutes.
My recommendation
Since these noodles are wider and flatter, I would highly recommend pairing them with a heavy sauce, such as the hot spicy red pepper sauce it comes with or a homemade Jajang sauce.
Toppings!
The toppings are endless for these Rothy Glass Noodles RED! Below is a list of ingredient ideas that to make these noodles even tastier and heartier:
- Leafy greens like bok choy or napa cabbage
- Hard boiled or soft-boiled eggs
- Cheese
- Tteokbokki rice cakes
- Minced garlic
- Green onions
- Fish cakes
- Fried tofu balls
- Vienna sausages
- Sliced sautéed Pork belly
These are only some ideas that come to my mind but of course, the world is your oyster when it comes to noodles so go wild!
Not a fan of spice?
If you’re not a fan of spice, 1ST MKFood also sells their Rothy Korea Glass Noodles without the spicy red pepper packets so you can mix these noodles with your favourite sauce. I would even suggest mixing them with Jajang sauce, also known as Roasted Black Bean Sauce.

if you don't use the whole package of glass noodles how do you store it and how long does it last once opened??
christieathome
I usually store them in a zip lock bag and if it comes with silica gel pack to prevent moisture I would keep it with the noodles.
