    Rice Vermicelli Noodles (Bun)

    Rice vermicelli noodles (bún) are round rice noodles. They are white in color and soft with some elasticity. They also come in different sizes. The most commonly used one is medium size. The extra-large one is used in Bun bo Hue (Vietnamese Spicy Beef Noodle Soup).

    Vietnamese vermicelli rice noodles (Bun) are white and round. You can use it for noodle soups, salad or fresh spring rolls.

    How to use rice vermicelli noodles

    You can use vermicelli noodles in noodle soups, noodle salad and in fresh spring rolls.

    In Vietnam, it is very easy to find fresh vermicelli noodles, but outside of Vietnam, it is more common to use the dried ones. There are usually two ways to prepare the dried noodles.

    • The first way is to cook them in boiling water on the stovetop for 6-7 minutes (depending on brand). After boiling time is over, you will need to rinse them under cold water.
    • The second way is to soak them in water and it takes much longer this way.

    Where to buy and best vermicelli noodle brands

    Asian grocery stores carry dried bun noodles of many brands. My favorite brand is Bamboo Tree. The texture is the most similar to what we eat in Vietnam.

    If your Asian grocery stores don’t carry this brand, another good one is the Three Ladies brand. The Three Ladies brand can also be purchased from Amazon.
