Corn Noodles are the Best
Corn noodles
are far superior to their rice noodle counterpart. That’s it.
Full disclosure: There is a pretty undesirable slimy layer
that coats the corn noodles once the water starts to boil. That’s normal. Just rinse
the noodles in warm water and they will hands down win you over. We actually prefer them to a wheat flour option. I love it when that happens!
Not the same can be said for the rice flour noodles. I
always feel discouraged when I find myself using RF noodles (it baffles me that rice flour noodles are
easier to come by than corn noodles. I must be missing something). I just
know the noodles aren't going to cook right. If I boil them long enough to make
them tender (read: edible) I risk having all of the noodles fall apart. And no
matter how long you choose to boil them, once they cool off they are pretty
much the worst thing ever.
If you are going to use a rice flour noodle make sure you only make enough for one meal without leftovers. Once refrigerated they become very hard (like a bad batch of rice!). Bleh. Talk about ruining a good casserole!
Tyler's Top Three
1. Sam Mills Gluten Free Noodles - Not as easy to find as some of the other options, but if you come across the Sam Mills brand, Stock up! We are lucky because we have a small specialty shop in town that carries a few of the options!
2. Schar Naturally Gluten Free Noodles - Offers multiple types/shapes and is easily found at any grocer that has a GF aisle.
3. Mrs. Leeper's Organic Gluten Free Noodles - Relatively easy to find at least one variety at any grocer that has a GF aisle. We love the Rice Vegetable Twists. I know that goes against what I said about RF noodles, but this is the best alternative we have found for a good pasta salad!
Meh: Ancient Harvest Quinoa Gluten Free Noodles - Commonly found at any grocer that has a GF aisle. Still better than RF noodles, but not a top pick.
