<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I have also been buying Chinese or Thai rice noodles for a number of years, but quite frankly, I feel that their flavor clashes with Western pasta topping, such as olive oil, and tomato based stuff. Their flavorings are geographically incompatable, if you will. At this point I'm almost happy to pay the outrageous price of health food brand rice pasta. Does anybody have any interesting Asian recipes for these noodles (such as Pad Thai, etc.)? Ingrid Gordon
