Noodle dishes are eaten like snacks. Bought from street vendors they are enjoyed on the run as well as in more formal settings. Rice noodles are made by blending rice flour and water into a light liquid paste, which is then extruded into thin paper-like sheets in the desired size, steam cooked and dried. Fresh rice noodles have a slightly different taste and texture. They would be equally delicious in these recipes and can now be found in many Asian markets. Best used the day you buy them.
