Vermicelli

What is Asian vermicelli?

Vermicelli is available in various types and ingredients, including mung bean vermicelli, commonly known as glass noodles, and rice vermicelli. Although both types are thin noodles, rice vermicelli is solid white and less translucent than glass noodles. While commonly associated with Asian dishes, vermicelli is enjoyed globally thanks to its versatility and easy preparation. Vermicelli absorbs flavors beautifully, and pairs well with many ingredients including soups, spring rolls, and serves as a gluten-free alternative in many dishes.
