Rice noodles
Thin noodles made from rice flour and water. Their mild flavour and light texture take up dressings and sauces well.
What it offers and why to use it
Mild in flavour, with a firm or springy texture when cooked correctly.
From shopping to cooking
Choose
Check rice noodles' ingredients, format and cooking time. For dried noodles, avoid damp packs or excessive breakage.
Store
Keep dried pasta airtight and dry. Refrigerate cooked pasta promptly in a sealed container and use within the recommended storage period.
Prepare
Cook or soak according to the format and check the texture before the stated time is up. Reserve cooking water when it helps bring the sauce together.
How to make the most of it
Good pairings
Pairs with vegetables, tomatoes, cheese, seafood, meat, oil, garlic and herbs.
How to substitute it
Replace rice noodles with pasta or noodles of similar thickness and adjust soaking or cooking. Gluten-free varieties behave differently.
