Use rice noodles to make a fresh and flavorful Asian soup.
Vietnamese rice stick noodles are made with rice flour and have a soft texture when cooked. The noodles are available in thin, medium and wide thicknesses and are used in a variety of Asian dishes, such as soup, stir fries, cold salads and spring and summer rolls.
