Rice Vermicelli

Cereal Grains, Pseudocereals and Pasta

Rice vermicelli is a thin form of rice noodle made from rice flour and water, sometimes marketed simply as rice noodles or rice sticks. It is distinct from cellophane noodles, a visually similar product made from mung bean or potato starch rather than rice grains, though the two are frequently confused. Rice vermicelli is a staple across Southeast and East Asian cooking, softened by soaking or brief boiling before being used in soups, stir-fries and cold noodle dishes.
