Introducing Gluten-Free Glass Noodles – Malony

I grew up eating Malony – a type of glass noodles – in simmered dishes and Japanese hot pot dishes like Shabu Shabu and Sukiyaki. Recently I realized that I could use these noodles beyond hot pot dishes. So I’ve partnered with Malony to share some of my favorite recipes using Malony. Here are some interesting features about Malony glass noodles:

Made from potato starch, corn starch, and water. Gluten-free. Allergy-free. No smell like shirataki noodles. Absorb all the delicious flavors, unlike other kinds of glass noodles. Won’t get soggy. No pre-boiling needed; can go straight into the soup dishes. Expand 4-5 times more than the original shape! Great emergency food to store in the pantry (3 years at room temperature).

You may have heard of Harusame (春雨), which is also a type of dried noodles made of starch from potato, sweet potatoes, or green beans. Some of these glass noodles easily dissolve into the soup and do not sustain their shape. On the other hand, Malony glass noodles retain their shapes well and do not dissolve into the soup.

Tips for Using Malony

Malony glass noodles are easy and simple to cook. You can use them for stir fry, salad, soup, and hot pot. Here are some tips when you’re using Malony:

For stir fry dishes, I recommend pre-boiling the noodles first to remove the starch. Increase the amount of liquid sauce because the noodles absorb the liquid and flavors quickly. Just like any other noodles, Malony is best when they are served hot/warm.

You want to make your own yakisoba sauce too because it’s as easy as whisking a few ingredients together. The homemade sauce would make a big difference in your gluten-free yakisoba. But first, get the noodles and cook up your favorite Japanese dish today!
