This is now my go-to dish to impress dinner guests! The glass noodles have such a unique texture and the dish looks absolutely beautiful. Made it for a potluck and it was the first to go!

Delicious! The prep work takes some time but it's worth it. I found sweet potato noodles at my local Asian market. Next time I'll try the traditional method of cooking veggies separately.
