REVIEW:
Looking at some of the other products we have reviewed in the past, you will see that we are a big fan of Asian rice noodles. They are an affordable gluten free alternative to the fancier gluten free pastas. That also might be because these noodles aren’t marketed as gluten free noodles. Take a look at the ingredients, and all that is in the noodles is rice and water. If you’re gluten intolerant and on a budget, I highly recommend trying these noodles if you have access to them. Just look at the price…we got this 14oz package of Five Grains Brand Guilin Rice Vermicelli from Chinatown for only $0.59. Try to find that in your local non-Asian supermarket… you won’t find anything that comes close.
These particular noodles are Guilin Rice Vermicelli, which is a special type of noodle from Guilin, a city in China. They are rich in history and have been around for over 2000 years. It looks like they perfected the recipe too because they are some of the best noodles we have had, gluten free or not. They come in different sizes, small to extra large, which references the diameter of the round noodles. They are probably the closest you will get to regular spaghetti.
The texture of these noodles is nice and firm. A little uncommon for a rice noodle, but the people of Guilin, China have probably perfected the recipe for the noodle because don’t forget, these noodles have been in existence for over 2000 years. One trick though when making though. After boiling them up, put them in some cold water to prevent them from sticking together.
Taste: Not much flavor as this is a typical rice noodle, but the texture is perfect. It is nice and firm and doesn’t fall apart while cooking like many other rice noodles do.
Labeling: For an Asian noodle company, the labeling on this is actually pretty good…No typos and nice high quality image of the noodles on the front.
Packaging: Typical plastic packaging for noodles. You won’t find double packaging here.
