rice sticks

Thin grain pasta

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

They come dried and require soaking or brief cooking before use in dishes like pad thai, pho, or stir-fries.

The term sometimes refers to puffed rice crackers or similar snacks.

Add the rice sticks to the broth just before serving.
