What it is
These are flat, wide rice noodles that are dried for preservation. They are made from rice flour and water, and when rehydrated, they become soft and pliable. The 10mm width provides a substantial bite, making them a good base for many dishes. They are a staple in many Asian cuisines, offering a neutral flavor that readily absorbs sauces and seasonings. Their dried form makes them convenient for pantry storage.

To prepare these noodles, they typically need to be rehydrated in hot water. The exact time will vary, but usually, they are soaked in boiling water for several minutes until they are tender but still have a slight chew. It is important not to overcook them, as they can become mushy. Once softened, they can be drained and added to your cooking. They are often stir-fried with vegetables, meats, and sauces, or added to broths for soups.
