rice stick

Thin grain pasta

Rice sticks are thin, translucent noodles made from rice flour, common in Southeast Asian cuisines.

They come dried and require soaking or brief cooking before use in dishes like pad Thai, pho, or stir-fries: Soak the rice sticks in warm water until pliable.

Also called rice noodles or rice vermicelli, though vermicelli typically refers to the thinnest variety.
