Cellophane noodles are a type of transparent noodles made from starch, like rice or mung bean starch. They are thin, slippery, and don't have much flavor on their own. Full definition
I adapted Jenn's recipe a bit to make use of what I had on hand: I couldn't find sweet potato vermicelli (the type of noodles generally used for chap chae) so I substituted mung bean cellophane noodles; I added tempeh for protein (you could try small pieces of organic chicken, pastured pork or grass - fed steak instead, if you like) and topped the dish off with homemade sriracha.
