Rice noodles, a staple in many Asian cuisines, form the base of a delightful array of dishes that tantalize the taste buds with their diverse flavors and textures. From the classic Vietnamese Bún chả, a harmonious blend of grilled pork, fresh herbs, and a tangy dipping sauce, to the vibrant Thai Pad See Ew, where wide rice noodles are stir-fried with succulent chicken or tofu, vegetables, and a rich, savory sauce, rice noodle dishes offer a culinary journey across Southeast Asia.
In the Philippines, rice noodles take center stage in Pancit Bihon, a celebratory dish combining stir-fried rice noodles, an assortment of vegetables, and meat or seafood, infused with a savory sauce. Indonesian cuisine boasts its own rice noodle delight: Kwetiau Goreng, a stir-fried noodle dish featuring flat rice noodles, vegetables, meat or seafood, eggs, and a sweet and savory sauce.
Venturing beyond Asia, we encounter the Spanish Fideuà, a captivating seafood stew that incorporates short, thin rice noodles known as fideos, along with a variety of seafood, vegetables, and a luscious broth. In Singapore, Carrot Cake, a delectable dish enjoyed during the Lunar New Year, showcases rice noodles stir-fried with shredded white radish, eggs, and a savory sauce, topped with crispy pork lard and spring onions.
These diverse rice noodle dishes, each with its unique character and culinary heritage, invite you to embark on a gastronomic adventure, exploring the rich tapestry of flavors and textures that rice noodles bring to the table.

Steps:

RICE NOODLES WITH SEARED PORK, CARROTS AND HERBS
Vietnamese-style marinated pork chops are often served whole with rice noodles, herbs and a dipping sauce. This version mixes all the components, infusing the noodles, sliced meat and vegetables with the sauce and keeping the noodles tender even after a day in the fridge. Dark, robust maple syrup takes the place of the traditional dark caramel in a nod to autumn (and as a weeknight shortcut to save you the hassle of browning sugar). The pork takes only a few minutes to cook, the noodles about 3, so this whole dish comes together really fast.

Steps:
- Whisk the fish sauce, syrup, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the shallots, chile and garlic. Transfer 2 tablespoons liquid to a large shallow dish and add the pork. Turn to evenly coat and let stand until ready to cook.
- Stir the lime juice into the sauce in the bowl. Add the carrots and toss until evenly coated. Let stand.
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the pork and cook, turning once, until seared and just rosy in the center, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and let stand.
- Put the noodles in the boiling water, stir well, and remove from the heat. Let stand until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain very well, then transfer to the sauce in the bowl. Toss until evenly coated.
- Cut the pork into thin slices and add to the noodles with any accumulated juices. Toss well. Toss in the herbs until well mixed. The mixture may look a bit soupy. As it sits and cools, the noodles will absorb the liquid. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold, with more herbs and lime wedges.

RICE NOODLE SALAD WITH SALTED PEANUTS AND HERBS
This satisfying salad has rice noodles and vegetables in equal measure, making it bright, crisp and light. The peanuts add richness and a salty crunch, along with a dose of protein. And the dressing is a little spicy and a lot tangy, with a pungent kick from fish sauce, garlic and ginger. The recipe makes just enough dressing to lightly coat the vegetables and noodles, but if you're a fan of heavily dressed salads, consider doubling it. Any leftover will keep in the fridge for up to a week, and you'll be happy to drizzle it on fish, chicken and all kinds of vegetables.
