Rice, pasta & flour

In Asian cuisine, rice, noodles and flour are indispensable staple foods that are used in a variety of dishes. Rice forms the basis of many meals - whether as a side dish, in soups or as the main ingredient in dishes such as sushi or fried rice. Noodles come in countless varieties, from rice noodles to wheat noodles, and are used in soups, stir-fries and salads. Flour, often in the form of rice or wheat flour, is the basis for doughs such as spring rolls, dumplings and many sweet or savoury specialities. These ingredients enable the variety and authenticity of Asian cuisine and are essential for every Asian dish.
