Winter is not letting up even though we are almost at the end of February. Temperatures dive to below zero again this week. No point fretting. I am just going to stay indoors and cook myself some soup. I made this Chicken Rice Flake Noodle Soup for lunch yesterday. It was so quick and easy to prepare and it certainly warmed me up. I was a happy camper.

Rice Flake Noodles

Easy Chicken Rice Flake Noodle Soup, the perfect antidote for a cold day. Tender rice flake noodles in a clear tasty broth. Only minutes to prepare.| RotiNRice.com Rice flake noodles known as koay chiap in Fujianese are pieces of translucent flat rice noodles. They usually come dry and can be used in soups and stir fries. They should be soften in warm water before use but I normally just skip this step when adding to soups. It takes only 3 to 4 minutes to cook from the dry form and probably only 1 to 2 minutes after being soaked. Once cooked, they turn an opaque white and are deliciously tender to the bite.

Rice flake noodles are a great addition to the pantry. When you are in the mood for something like and soupy, just add a handful of it to any clear soup and you have a warm and satisfying meal in front of you. They are also naturally gluten free.

    I have seen these flakes being sold but never know how to use it. It sure looks so delicious, like the kueh tiao teng. I will definitely pick up a bag the next time I am in the Chinese grocery shop to make this. I like the fact that you do not have to re-hydrate the flakes – just add them to the soup and away you go!! Only one pot to clean, my kind of cooking. Thanks, Linda.
