This is a type of pasta that is commonly used in many types of Asian cooking. It's actually a huge sheet soft pasta made out of rice flour that's cut into centimeter strips. Its already precooked, but people typically cook it again to add flavor to the noodles. If you are familiar with dim sum, this is the same type of rice wrapper that they use for the dish where they wrap pork, beef or shrimp with the rice paper and drizzle a yummy, sweet soy sauce over everything. I am going to make a pad see ew with this tonight.
