pastas and noodles
rice noodles
Rice makes excellent noodles. They are often available in large supermarkets and Asian shops, as well as the usual health food stores. You’ll find the vermicelli noodles very easy to buy – and these are great for Asian dishes such as noodle salads and Singapore noodles, for example. You can also buy larger-sized noodles, which work particularly well with Asian curries and stir-fries. And increasingly the ‘fresh’ rice noodles are becoming easier to find, especially in Asian food stores. These, too, are delicious with Asian curries and stir-fried noodles, as well as salads.
