Glass noodles ("Dangmyeon") are also known as cellophane noodles or Chinese vermicelli. Korean glass noodles are made from sweet potato starch and look transparent and glassy when cooked. They are usually sold in dried form and needed to be boiled or soaked in water for a while before cooking. They are used as a main ingredient for a very popluar dish, "Japchae" (stir-fried glass noodles) and also used to make Korean dumplings. Their texture is chewier and more elastic than other kinds of noodles, which makes the dish more appetizing and fun!
