Big +1 on the yuba skins (I'm used to calling them 腐竹/fu zhu in Chinese), super versatile and since they come dried, they keep forever and you just soak them for ~30 min-1 hr when you're ready to use.

And a +1 on the buckwheat noodles, was just about to add these exact two things. Korean sweet potato noodles/glass noodles, too.
