How people cook with it
Rice vermicelli are used in a wide variety of dishes, from soups to stir-fries and salads.
- Add to hot broth for noodle soup.
- Serve chilled as a refreshing salad.
- Use as a base for spring rolls.
To prepare, typically the noodles are soaked in hot water or briefly boiled until tender. The exact method can vary depending on the thickness of the vermicelli and the desired texture. Overcooking can make them mushy, so it is important to follow package directions or cook until just pliable. Once cooked, they are usually drained and can be rinsed with cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent sticking. They are then ready to be incorporated into your chosen dish.
