What goes with Glass Noodles?
Glass noodles are made from extracted starch rather than whole bean flour. The reference here is fine dried mung-bean-starch vermicelli, which becomes translucent when cooked. Sweet-potato dangmyeon, potato-starch harusame and broad freshly steamed starch ribbons belong to related families but behave differently; their cooking times and stretch should not be transferred unchanged to these thin strands.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Glass Noodles?
Because flavour comes mainly from the coating, distinguish aromatic oil from salty liquid and measure both. Ginger and garlic need enough cooking or fine cutting to avoid harsh isolated bites. Crisp vegetables, browned tofu or small pieces of offal can give contrast; thick sauces must be loosened sufficiently to pass between the strands rather than sit on top.
