Long Rice, also known as cellophane or glass noodles, is a type of translucent noodle traditionally made from starches like mung bean, potato, or tapioca combined with water. Common in Asian cuisines, it is featured in dishes from Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Filipino cooking, often used in soups, stir-fries, spring rolls, or salads. Long Rice is low in fat and contains no gluten, making it a popular option for those with dietary restrictions. However, it is relatively low in protein and fiber, offering mainly carbohydrates with minimal nutrients. Some variations include fortified options to enhance its nutritional profile. Its ability to absorb flavors while maintaining a chewy texture makes it versatile in countless recipes. As with any starch-based food, portion control is key to maintaining balanced health, especially when paired with nutrient-rich vegetables, lean proteins, and wholesome sauces.
