Step 1:

Let's gather our ingredients for this Korean-style glass noodle dressing.
Step 2:

First, pour the water into a small pot and add the salt. Sea salt, Himalayan salt, or even black salt is a good choice here.
Step 3:

Then add the stevia, stir well until it dissolves completely, and bring to a boil. You can use sugar or any other sweetener you have. If you'd rather use honey, stir it in at the end, once the dressing has cooled a bit.
Step 4:

Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger and garlic. If you don't have fresh ginger, ground dried works too, and the same goes for the garlic.
Step 5:

Add the sesame oil, soy sauce, and vinegar to the water. Stir in the grated garlic and ginger and let it sit over low heat for a couple of minutes. You can swap the sesame oil for any other vegetable oil, ideally a neutral, odorless one.
Step 6:

Then add the spices: chili pepper, coriander, and black pepper. Stir and let it go another couple of minutes. The dressing is ready, let it cool and use it to dress your glass noodles. You can also use fresh chili cut into small pieces in place of the ground dried.

If you want to treat the family to something a little exotic with minimal time and effort, this Korean-style dressing over glass noodles is just the thing. Glass noodles (funchosa) are an interesting type of vermicelli made from mung beans. They cook up quickly and easily, don't clump, and look beautiful, almost translucent, as if they glow. On their own they're pleasant but mild, but tossed with this Korean-style dressing they become intensely flavorful, spicy, sweet, sour, and salty all at once! You can use this dressing on salads, plain pasta, or meat too. Your taste buds will thank you. Enjoy!
