A Quick Look at the History of Rice Noodles

Rice noodles have a long and rich history, dating back over 2,000 years to China’s Qin Dynasty (around 221 BC). Legend has it that northern Chinese travelers, unfamiliar with wheat noodles, adapted to the rice-based cuisine of the southern regions by experimenting with milled rice dough, creating what we now know as rice noodles.

From there, rice noodles spread across Southeast Asia, becoming a staple in many countries and taking on unique regional twists:

  • Thailand: Known for Pad Thai and spicy stir-fried dishes like Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles).
  • Vietnam: Famous for dishes like Pho (rice noodle soup) and Bún (cold rice vermicelli bowls).
  • Malaysia: Home to Char Kway Teow, a smoky, savory stir-fried noodle dish.
  • China: Offers a wide range of rice noodle dishes, including Chow Fun and Guilin rice noodles.

Rice noodles are cherished not only for their soft, chewy texture but also for their versatility—they’re naturally gluten-free and perfect for stir-fries, soups, or cold salads.

Stir-fry the Eggs

  • Add oil to the wok and heat over high heat. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk well. Pour them into the hot wok and stir-fry just until set. Remove from the wok and set aside.
    Tip: Taking the eggs out early keeps them soft and prevents overcooking when you stir them back in.

Notes

  1. Prep all your ingredients before cooking
    Stir-fries move fast. Chop, measure, and set everything within reach before you heat the pan.
  2. Sear the chicken on high heat
    A quick sear helps lock in juices and adds flavor from browning. Avoid overcrowding the pan—cook in batches if needed.
  3. Don’t overcook the broccolini
    Stir-fry just until it turns bright green and tender-crisp. Overcooked broccolini can go mushy and lose its color.
  4. Cook eggs separately and set aside
    Scrambling them first keeps them fluffy and prevents them from getting rubbery when everything’s combined later.
