Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Do I have to soak the noodles before cooking them?

It's not necessary. The instructions say to cook them directly in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes.

2. Why do they have to be cooled in cold water after draining?

This step immediately stops the cooking process, preventing them from becoming overcooked and sticky. This is especially important if you're using them in salads.

3. What do they taste like on their own?

They have a very neutral flavor, typical of rice, which makes them perfect for absorbing the flavors of the sauces, broths, and dressings you combine them with.

4. What is your country of origin?

They are a product of Thailand, a country with a rich tradition of using rice noodles in its cuisine.

5. Can they be broken up to make smaller portions?

Yes, before cooking, you can easily break up the block of dry noodles to adjust the amount you need.

6. Are they the same as glass noodles?

No. Vermicelli noodles are made from rice and become opaque white when cooked. Glass noodles are made from mung bean starch and are transparent.
