Rice noodles are a type of noodle made from rice flour and water. They are commonly used in various Asian cuisines, particularly in dishes from Vietnam, Thailand, and China. Rice noodles come in different shapes and sizes, including flat, thin, and round varieties, and are often gluten-free, making them suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. These noodles are typically cooked by soaking in hot water or boiling, which makes them soft and chewy. Rice noodles are versatile and can be stir-fried, added to soups, or served cold in salads. Popular dishes featuring rice noodles include Pad Thai, Pho, and Bun.
