Glass noodles are type of transparent Asian noodle made from starch and water. They are generally sold in dried form and used in soups, stir fried or spring rolls.
Coriander leaves (or Chinese parsley) are an ingredients in many South Asian foods. Chopped coriander leaves are a garnish such as dal and curries. As heat diminishes their flavour quickly, coriander leaves are often used raw or added to the dish immediately before serving. click on pictures for a closer look
Coriander roots have a deeper, more intense flavour than the
leaves. They are used in a variety of Asian cuisines and are commonly used in Thai dishes. Information from Wiki
Kitchen note: Store fresh coriander leaves in a airtight container and put it in the chiller. The leaves remain fresh for days.
