Flat rice noodle
Used in 2 recipes on RecipeWiki.
Flat rice noodles are thin or wide noodles made from rice flour and water, sold fresh, dried or folded into nests. Their cooking time varies dramatically by thickness, so follow the packet and stop while they still have a little bite. Soak dried noodles in warm water before stir-frying rather than boiling them until soft; they finish in the sauce. Rinse briefly after cooking if they are waiting, otherwise their surface starch makes them clump.

Charring the onion and ginger before they go near water is what makes the broth smell like pho rather than beef soup. Everything else is patience.
