What it is

Rice noodles are a type of noodle made from rice flour and water. They are a staple food in many Asian countries and are made by steaming a thin batter of rice flour and water, then cutting it into noodles. Different shapes and thicknesses are possible.

Why it's used

Rice noodles are used as a base for a wide variety of dishes, including soups, stir-fries, and salads. They are valued for their mild flavor and chewy texture, which absorb the flavors of sauces and broths well. Manufacturers use them in packaged foods like noodle bowls, meal kits, and frozen entrees.
