What's the difference between vermicelli and rice noodles?

There are obvious differences between vermicelli and rice noodles in taste, raw materials and cooking methods. The following are my personal views on both:

Different tastes: the strip and filiform rice products made of rice flour through various processes have smooth taste, flexible texture and elasticity, and are not easy to break when boiled and fried; The vermicelli is mainly cold and hot, with soft and smooth taste and soft texture.

Different raw materials: rice flour is made of rice; Vermicelli are mainly made of mung bean and sweet potato starch.

Cooking methods are different: rice noodles are mainly scalded or boiled, and can be mixed with various ingredients and seasonings to make rice noodle soup or fried rice noodles with different tastes; Vermicelli is mainly used as cold salad or as ingredients such as hot pot.

Generally speaking, vermicelli and rice noodles are common ingredients, but there are obvious differences in taste, raw materials and cooking methods. The choice of specific ingredients can be decided according to personal taste and cooking needs.

Both vermicelli and rice noodles are traditional foods in China with a long history and rich regional characteristics.

Fans: The origin of fans is mainly in all parts of China, and each region has its own representative products. For example, traditional snacks such as yellow betel nut taro vermicelli in Xianyou, Fujian, and mung bean jelly in Cao Xian, Shandong. The specialties and production methods in different regions are also slightly different, so you can choose fans suitable for your own taste to buy and eat according to your own taste.

Rice noodles: The main popular areas of rice noodles during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China were the Yangtze River, the Pearl River Basin, the southeast coast, Taiwan Province Province, Hainan and other rice producing areas. Now the common rice noodles are as follows: sour rice noodles, dried rice noodles, rice noodles, rice rolls and rice skin.
