Dried rice noodles are made from finely ground rice flour and water. The pasta is then extruded into opaque noodles of varying thickness and sizes. Because they are absorbent and have little flavour of their own, they readily take on the taste and fragrance of the foods with which they are cooked.
In Asian cuisine, rice noodles are a basic and popular food. Dried rice noodles are perfect for quick and easy cooking, as they take little time to soften and can be cooked with almost any vegetable, meat, fish or seafood.
Dried rice noodles stored in a dry, cool cupboard will last indefinitely. They are very easy to use. Simply soak them in hot water for 15 minutes or until they are soft. Drain them in a colander and use in soups or stir-fries.
