Fine rice vermicelli

Sevai

Dry rice vermicelli; measured by g.

Nothing gives exactly the fine rice-noodle texture; wheat vermicelli is close but not gluten-free and behaves differently.

• 
  Vermicelli

  Use the same weight; check whether it is rice or wheat vermicelli and soak or cook as the packet says. Wheat version is less delicate.

• 
  Thick vermicelli

  Use the same weight and soak or boil 2–3 minutes longer; chewier and thicker, so cut shorter for salads.
