Answer
I am the word "glass".I can be paired with the three words "noodles", "jaw", and "ceiling" to form the following phrasal nouns:
glass noodles - a type of noodle popular in Asia
glass jaw - someone with a glass jaw has a jaw which is susceptible to injury
glass ceiling - a barrier to professional advancement which is created by discrimination, and therefore is artificial.
All of the phrasal nouns consist of two words, each having a common first word, "glass", and a different second word.
