Rice Sticks 5mm, 400g · Lian Thong

5mm rice sticks are a classic choice for Thai and Asian dishes where you want noodles with more presence and texture. The wider thickness is especially suitable for stir-fries like Pad Thai, noodles in soy sauce, vegetables in a wok, chicken, tofu, beef or shrimp, as well as for soups and noodle bowls with rich sauce.

They are a very useful pantry staple: neutral in taste, absorb sauces quickly, and combine with almost any Asian direction - from sweet-sour-spicy Thai to a homemade stir-fry with soy, garlic, ginger and sesame oil. A simple solution when you need to turn a few vegetables, a good sauce and protein of choice into a complete meal.

Tips
Do not cook like regular pasta. Soak in hot water until partially softened, drain, and then finish cooking in a wok or pan with the sauce. For stir-fries, leave the noodles slightly al dente so they don't fall apart. For Pad Thai, prepare the sauce and additions in advance, as the noodles absorb quickly and the dish needs short, hot work in the wok.
