Cut Vermicelli

Cut vermicelli, also known as cellophane noodles or glass noodles, is a type of noodle made from starch, usually mung bean starch or potato starch. The noodles are thin, translucent, and have a slightly slippery texture when cooked. Cut vermicelli is commonly used in various Asian cuisines, including Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Thai dishes. To prepare cut vermicelli, the noodles are usually soaked in hot water until they become soft and pliable, and then they can be added to soups, stir-fries, salads, or used as a filling for spring rolls. The noodles are a versatile ingredient that can absorb the flavors of other ingredients they are cooked with, making them a popular choice in many dishes. Cut vermicelli is a gluten-free alternative to wheat-based noodles, making it suitable for people with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. It is also a low-calorie and low-carbohydrate option for those watching their intake.
