What is Rice Noodle?

Rice noodles are wide flat noodles made from rice flour. It is otherwise known as "ho fun". Rice noodles have a mild subtle flavor that is easily paired with sauces. It has a distinct texture where it is slippery when saucy and bouncy when stir-fried. One popular application is stir-fry rice noodles with vegetables or beef.

Historical Origin

Historical records suggest that rice noodles were invented back when Northern China invaded Southern China. Due to harsh climate conditions, Northerners were accustomed to eating wheat and millet so their noodles were traditionally made out of those ingredients. To adapt to crop availabilities in the south after their invasion, they replaced wheat and millet with rice, and the rice noodle was invented.
