Pad thai strand

Rice noodles are noodles made from rice flour and water, common in East and Southeast Asian cuisines.

They range from thin vermicelli to wide flat ribbons, appearing in dishes like pho, pad thai, and stir-fries.

Unlike wheat noodles, they have a slightly chewy, slippery texture and are naturally gluten-free: The soup came with rice noodles and bean sprouts.
