Bifun Noodles

Also indexed as: Mi Fun Noodles, Rice Stick Noodles, Rice Vermicelli

Preparation, uses, and tips

Add noodles a few at a time to boiling water. To prevent noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pan, stir gently until the water returns to a rapid boil. Cook for five to six minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Add to miso soup or to stir-fried dishes.

Buying and storing tips

Look for bifun noodles in the ethnic or pasta section of natural food, grocery, or specialty or Asian markets. Store them, unopened, in a cool, dry cupboard for six to eight months.

Varieties

Bifun noodles are available in the traditional form (described above), and may contain some flavours, such as mushroom or chilli.
