Stir-Fry Rice Noodles

This is about as simple as a pantry noodle gets, with an ingredient list that reads only rice and water and 0mg of sodium in the dry noodle itself. That plainness is the appeal for anyone avoiding gluten, additives, or seed oils, since the noodles are steamed rather than fried and carry no preservatives. The catch is that this is still refined white rice, so a 2 oz serving lands at 200 calories and 45g of carbs with 0g of fiber and only 4g of protein, meaning it behaves more like white pasta than a nutrient dense base. Think of it as a clean blank canvas whose real nutrition depends entirely on the sauce and vegetables you add.
