Great Rice Pasta!

I just made a stir fry with Annie Chun's rice noodles and they were fantastic. They are not gritty/gummy like other rice pastas I've had. You just submerge them for a few minutes in hot water and they are done. There was no distinctive Asian flavor to them and I think they would pass perfectly well for wheat pasta if you put spaghetti sauce on them. These were the very thin ones, like angel hair, but I'm looking forward to trying the pad thai width next.

I got these at Jimbo's but I think they are cheaper on Amazon.

We Made Pizza Crust With Pan de Yuca Dough!

You can easily make this recipe dairy-free. I have another recipe on this blog that is; we happened to use Laylita's recipe (see link below). We pressed a ball of dough in a tortilla press (but you could just roll or press it thin), put toppings on it, and baked it for about 6 minutes at 500 degrees. I don't think anyone would know this was not wheat crust. I just put sauce and meat on it, no cheese. Hooray for tapioca flour!
