Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the glass noodles and cook according to package directions, usually 6–8 minutes, until tender and translucent throughout. Drain in a colander, rinse under cold water, and use kitchen scissors to cut the noodles into roughly 6-inch lengths. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds, and black pepper until the sugar dissolves. Pour about two-thirds of the sauce over the drained noodles and toss to coat. Set the remaining sauce aside.
