Rice Noodles

Rice noodles make great casseroles
Flat Noodles make great pasta dishes with spaghetti sauce and alfredo sauce
Mai fun noodles make good ramen soup and stir fry dishes

Tuna Casserole
Cook rice/gf noodles per instructions and drain
1 can progresso cream of mushroom soup or GF cream of chicken
1 can tuna or canned chicken
Garlic salt/salt/pepper
Stir together and serve or bake it in a casserole dish with cheese on top and crumble Lays brand potato chips on top

Baked Spaghetti/Alfredo
Cook rice/gf noodles per instructions and drain
Add a jar of sauce (Costco has GF, sugar free marinara)
Add hamburger or italian sausage or chicken
Bake in casserole dish 350 for 20-30 minutes with cheese on top or stirred in

Ramen soup
Mai Fun noodles work best
Boil mai fun noodles in broth.  Add salt or flavor as needed.  You can use home made stock or use the better than bouillion chicken broth paste or canned/boxed broth
I like to add frozen stir fry vegetables as well

Stir fry
Cook meat of choice in a big frying pan, drain grease
Add broth (chicken or beef or just water with garlic salt and spices)
Add vegetables (I use a frozen bag of stir fry blend)
Add mai fun noodles or other rice noodles
Cover on low heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced

Curry Noodles
Same as stir fry above using coconut milk and curry paste (check label for GF)
Cook meat of choice and drain.  Add oil of choice and curry paste and then coconut milk (canned or boxed)
Add vegetables and simmer
You can serve over white rice or add the mai fun noodles and reduce liquid


You can use rice noodles or GF noodles for any macaroni salad recipe and it sets up well in the fridge.  Just take your family recipe and replace the noodles with GF noodles or rice noodles.  The rice noodles soak up the flavor over night, so I think it always tastes better the next day with rice noodles after they sit overnight.
