Chinese Glass Noodle Soup

Chinese Glass Noodle Soup
  • 2 ounces uncooked bean threads (cellophane noodles)
  • 3 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons thin strips fresh ginger root
  • 4 2-inch pieces fresh lemongrass, minced
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 6 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, cut into 8 thin slices
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro


  1. Soak the bean threads in a large bowl of hot water until soft, about 15 minutes; drain and cut into bite-size lengths. Divide the noodles into 4 bowls.
  2. Bring the chicken broth, garlic, ginger, and lemongrass to a boil in a large saucepan; reduce heat to medium-low and cook the mixture at a simmer until fragrant, about 15 minutes. Add the chicken and shrimp to the soup; simmer until the chicken pieces are cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir the lime juice and fish sauce through the soup. Ladle the soup over the noodles; top with jalapeno pepper slices and cilantro to serve.
