Things worth knowing
- One cup of cooked rice noodles (176 g) has about 190 kcal / 795 kJ.
- Dry rice noodles are 364 kcal per 100 g, so weigh them consistently: dry and cooked figures differ by more than three times.
- Cooked wheat pasta is higher at 158 kcal per 100 g and has more protein, so rice noodles are lighter weight for weight but less filling on protein.
- Most rice noodles are naturally gluten-free, but some brands add wheat or tapioca starch, so check the label if gluten matters.
