Phở Khô Kim Bôi are dried Vietnamese flat rice noodles produced by Kim Bôi as a shelf-stable alternative to fresh bánh phở. The product is made from selected white non-glutinous rice. The rice is cleaned, soaked and ground into a smooth batter that is then processed and shaped into flat, uniform strips. The noodles are dried to reduce their moisture content and allow longer storage without refrigeration. In their dried form, they are firm and naturally pale in color, while after preparation they become soft and flexible. They have a mild rice aroma and a neutral flavor that does not overpower the broth, meat or aromatic herbs. The strips retain an even texture during preparation and should not break apart easily. The product is sold without a seasoning mixture, allowing the broth and other ingredients to determine the final flavor of the dish. Before serving, the noodles are softened and briefly cooked according to the instructions on the package. They can be used in phở soup, stir-fried dishes, cold noodle salads and combinations with meat, vegetables or seafood.
