The firmness and smooth texture of rice noodles make them great for zaru udon (cold udon) or as a substitute for pasta. A cold pasta dish with fresh peaches is also delicious. We also recommend trying them with honey or cream for a sweet taste It does not contain wheat, so it can be eaten by people with wheat allergies
