Buy Gluten Free Rice Stick and Save Money

Have you ever noticed that once the two words "gluten free" go onto a package it suddenly costs a whole lot more? Many types of gluten free pasta noodles are made from rice, but why not sidestep the gluten free food industry by finding foods that inherently contain no gluten, without being labeled as such?

In Asian cuisine there is a type of noodle called rice stick. In our experience it is gluten free, but of course you must always read the ingredients. Having once lived in an area where there were many Asian people I was lucky enough to learn a bit about Asian cooking, and using rice stick instead of gluten free spaghetti is fast, easy and less expensive.

Usually rice stick is prepared by soaking the noodles in hot water. Boiling is definitely not indicated for most varieties of rice stick. While you are reading the ingredients be sure to check the instructions for preparing your rice stick.

We quite enjoy having rice stick at our house, it comes in varying widths, but the very thin variety used in making Pad Thai is most common. Below is a list of rice stick offerings from Amazon.
