Delicate and slippery, rice noodles have a subtle flavor that allows them to absorb the essence of any dish. Their light, airy texture makes them a favorite in soups and stir-fries.

Where it comes from

Integral to various Asian cuisines, especially Thai and Vietnamese, rice noodles have a long history, often featured in signature dishes like pho and pad Thai.

In the kitchen

Rice noodles are versatile, used in soups, salads, and stir-fries, providing a light base that complements vibrant flavors and textures without overpowering the dish.

Across cuisines

Burmese

Rice noodles are the structural backbone of the Burmese noodle dishes that dominate breakfast and lunch — round mohinga noodles (a fish-stock soup), flat shan khao swè, thin mee shay. Each form is matched to a specific broth or sauce; the noodle is never interchangeable.
