Flat rice noodles are a type of rice noodle that are wide and flat, with a soft and chewy texture. They are a staple in many Asian cuisines and are used in dishes like stir-fries (such as Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, or Beef Chow Fun) or noodle soups.
Ingredients: They are primarily made from rice flour and water, though some recipes and store-bought versions may add potato, tapioca, or corn starch to improve their texture.
Variations: They can be found fresh, dried, or frozen, and their thickness can vary, with common names including Hor Fun, Shahe fen, and Kuey Teow.
Characteristics: Fresh versions are often coated in a light oil to prevent sticking and are best used the same day they are made, as refrigeration can make them brittle. They are known for their ability to absorb the flavors of sauces and other ingredients.
Cooking: They are typically cooked by soaking them in warm water until soft, rather than boiling, and are then added to stir-fries or soups.
