Notes
- This recipe may be served hot or cold. If served warm, toss the warm rice noodles with the tamari/sesame seed mixture and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Rice flour noodles are usually thin Chinese noodles resembling long, translucent white hairs. They may need to be pre-soaked before using - check package directions. Look for "rice sticks" if you want a thicker noodle. For amazing texture, try ethereal, slippery "cellophane noodles" made from mung-bean starch. Shop Asian markets for best selection.
