How to make Homemade Flat Rice Noodles
I experimented with a few recipes and discovered that 3 parts of rice flour to 1 part of starch produces the most stretchable and chewy noodles.
Step 1: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the dry ingredients.
Step 2: Gradually add water until you achieve the consistency of a thin batter, similar to soymilk.

Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the panStep 4: Steam the batter over high heat for one to two minutes, or until the noodles become translucent.

I strongly advise eating the noodles the same day you prepare them. But if you want to prepare the noodles ahead of time, you can store them in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to two days. Noodles should be softened in the microwave or steam when ready to use before being added to stir-fries. Reminder: It’s best to store rice noodles after cutting them because refrigerating them will make them more fragile.

What are rice noodles made of?
Rice flour or a combination of rice and tapioca flour, as in this recipe for flat rice noodles, is used to make rice noodles.
Flat rice noodles have a lot of calories and carbohydrates. The calories are increased by the flour’s source of carbohydrates as well as the lubricating oil used to prevent sticking. Even without taking into account the oil added to prevent them from sticking to one another, a serving of rice noodles (100g) has about 110 kcal in calories.
If you don’t account for the fact that they require very little additional oil to cook (since the oil is already on them), which is simple to overlook when drawing comparisons with dry noodles, for instance, you will obtain a misleading impression.
Therefore, the coating oil is not taken into account when calculating the nutritional value of rice noodles and will be of little use because the amounts will vary greatly.
Step 3 – Prepare to Steam
The rice noodle sheets need to be prepared for steaming next.
You’ll need a steamer and a shallow pan (two pans are even better) with a very flat bottom that will fit inside the steaming pot.
Add water to the steamer, bring it to a boil, then turn down the heat so that only light steam is produced.
Apply a thin layer of oil to the steaming pans using an oil brush. Use sparingly; if you do, the oil will float up into the rice batter, which is something we don’t want.
Because water will drip off the steamer top pan as you switch plates, spread out a towel so that you can do so. This keeps us clean.
We use a cutting board that we can cut the noodles on after cooking the batch, so we oil it before stacking the noodle sheets on it. If you don’t use enough oil, the noodles will stick and break as you try to lift them.
Purchase a nice, flexible silicone spatula for removing cooked noodle sheets from the pan.
