How To Cook Thai Rice Noodle Vermicelli

We love ‘Kosa Rice Vermicelli 3 mm’ for the perfect width and texture, available at Sobeys, Safeway and Save On Foods.

The number one mistake is to cook the vermicelli straight out of the package. Rice noodle tastes a lot better after being soaked in water and resuscitated. Soak the noodles with boiled water for at least 8 minutes or per packaging instructions.

Add resuscitated rice vermicelli to boiling hot water and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Do not overcook.

If you are using the rice noodles in a cold salad like this recipe, remove from heat, run under cold water, drain water, and toss in ice cubes to stop the cooking—drizzle sesame oil to help the noodles from sticking to each other.

Selecting Summer Vegetables

Summer is the height of the growing season, and it is hard to beat the taste of fresh in-season vegetables. Adding vibrant greens to your salad is delicious and appealing to your senses.

We love tender asparagus tips, sugar peas, snap peas and edamame for that nice contrast crispy, crunchy and snappy textures.
