rice noodles
Pad thai base
Rice noodles are noodles made from rice flour and water, common in East and Southeast Asian cuisines.
They come in various widths, from thin vermicelli to broad flat ribbons, and appear in dishes like pho, pad thai, and stir-fries.
Unlike wheat noodles, they turn translucent when cooked and have a distinctly chewy texture.
