Kelp noodles or cheon sa chae (Korean: 천사채),[1] are semi-transparent noodles made from the jelly-like extract left after steaming edible kelp. They are made without the addition of grain flour or starch.[2] Kelp noodles have a crunchy texture and are low in calories.[3] They can be eaten raw, in salads, but for added taste, some prefer to cook them in water with spices added for flavoring.[citation needed] Many restaurants serve kelp noodles in stir fry dishes. The noodles usually require rinsing before being added to a stir fry dish towards the end of cooking time.
