Yes, all of these rice noodle recipes center on a star ingredient (the noodles), but there\u2019s so much variety within the category. The rice noodle canon is as expansive as it is delicious. From brothy bowls to punchy stir-fries to chilled noodle salads, these are the rice noodle recipes we turn to again and again.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll see a range of names at the store\u2014rice sticks, rice vermicelli, flat rice noodles; it\u2019s worth familiarizing yourself with the differences (and learning the noodle\u2019s actual name<\/a> if you don\u2019t know it already). Each brings something distinct to the table. A few of our go-tos: b\u00e1nh ph\u1edf, medium-width flat noodles ideal for soups; wide, chewy ho fun (also called char kway teow), perfect for high-heat stir-fries; and delicate Hsinchu mi fen, which excels in quick-cooking noodle dishes like a stir-fry. No matter the shape, one thing holds true: Rice noodles cook fast and absorb flavor like a dream.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Photograph by Isa Zapata, food styling by Taneka Morris, prop styling by Suzie Myers<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n This version of salmon head soup\u2014a staple of Native Alaskan diets\u2014builds a broth from its eponymous ingredient, plus fillet scraps and tons of aromatics like sesame oil<\/a>, fennel, and coriander.
