You will NEVER believe that all you need is ONE ingredient and TWO minutes to make these delicious and chewy gluten-free noodles!
These rice paper gluten-free noodles are chewy, bouncy, and perfect for soaking up all the flavor.

I have a gluten sensitivity, so I am always looking for yummy, affordable, and delicious gluten-free noodles that TASTES GOOD!
To be honest, I came up with this recipe in the middle of the night when I was craving noodles, but I also didn’t want to feel bloated all night.
One thing I always have in my pantry is rice paper. Normally, I would roll them up into rice cakes and enjoy them with hoisin sauce as a lazy snack.
But I started playing around with different thicknesses and methods by stacking up rice paper and came up with this easy and delicious gluten-free noodles recipe.
To make gluten-free noodles, all you will need is rice paper, and that’s it!
Stack 5 pieces of rice paper together and soak them in warm water. Try to press out as many air bubbles as possible so the rice paper will stick together easily.
Transfer the rice paper to a microwaveable bowl, and add around ½ cup of water. Microwave for one minute and thirty seconds, and cut into your desired thickness.
PRO-TIP: Brush a little oil on your knife to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
You can enjoy the gluten-noodles with any sauce, but I prefer to enjoy them with spicy, oily sauces, as the noodle soaks up all the juices, making it super delicious!
I like to enjoy my gluten-free noodles with my most viral spicy garlic noodle recipe.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you, but my 10 Minute Spicy Garlic Noodle is seriously so addicting and delicious.
The sauce is spicy, tangy, garlicky, and savory, paired with refreshing crunchy cucumber cilantro; there is a reason why this Spicy Garlic Noodle is my most viral recipe!
If you are looking for something quick, easy, cheap, and delicious, this gluten-free noodles plus spicy garlic sauce recipe is meant for you.

Just attempted these and they were so mushy I couldn’t transfer them to cut they just made a gloopy mess 🙈 did I soak them too long in step 1? Can’t wait to try again once the kids are asleep 😂
Hi Cait,
Sorry to hear that! The first time is to ensure they all stick together. Once all stuck together, transfer to a microwavable bowl for 1 minute and 30 seconds. After microwaving, drain, and it should still be ONE piece; I like to use a spatula to remove it so that it holds together as one piece and isn’t too hot on your hands.
You can let it rest for 1-2 minutes without water to cool down and then cut into your desired thickness.
let me know if this helps 🙂

Hello on your rice noodle recipe.Do u leave the 5peices of rice paper together or separate once done in the microwave.
And also what’s the carb count on them.thankyou.
It does sound yummy
I would definitely like to try this.And your sauce too.
Hi Dee,
It should be ONE big piece; all stuck together. When you stack them and press them into the water, the rice paper should stick to each other, making it thick like noodles.
the carb count will depend on the rice paper you use 🙂 let me know if you give it a try and how it turns out!
