Rice noodles are noodles that are made from rice. Their principal ingredients are rice flour and water, though sometimes other ingredients such as tapioca or corn starch are also added.
Rice noodles are most commonly used in the cuisines of East and Southeast Asia, and are available fresh, frozen, or dried, in various shapes and thicknesses

rice noodles = rice-flour noodles Equivalents: Four ounces fresh rice noodles = 1 ounce dried Notes: Rice noodles are made with rice flour, and are especially popular in Southeast Asia. It's easy to find dried rice noodles in large supermarkets, but you'll probably have to visit an Asian market to find them fresh. Rice noodles should be soaked in hot water before using. When they're soft and transparent, drain them.

Noodles are made from ground wheat, ground corn, ground rice, ground soy or beans even...
So rice noodles are made from rice, they are usually clear after cooking, you cook them just like normal noodles, unless you have the super-skinny glass noodles (they are usually quick fried).
These rice noodles are usually good in Chinese style soups, but they are perfect for those of us who are wheat intolerant!
You can find them in different sizes and shapes/lengths at your local Chinese or Asian market.

As you might know (???), all pasta is made of flour and water.
Italian pasta is made of wheat flour, while rice noodles are the asian version of pasta, made with rice flour (ground up rice).
Due to the different consistancy the pasta looks different than wheat-pasta, rice noodles are very white, and when cooked, they are transparent (see-through).

Long, very thin and nearly transparent noodles you can usually find in the asian section of the grocery department. I like 'em.

Yes, all the above; plus quick to make (only a couple of minutes in boiling water) and you can add all sorts of meats,fish, poultry plus veggies and they absorb the flavors; I also like the with just a bit of butter and salt/pepper....
