Bún Hữu Cơ is an organic rice vermicelli produced by Viet Haus from the Siêu Hàm Châu rice variety grown in Trà Vinh Province. This variety has a growing period of approximately 105 days and produces firm grains that are well suited to noodle making. After harvesting, the rice is stored for several months to increase its amylose content and produce looser strands that are less likely to stick together. The product consists primarily of organic rice with a small amount of tapioca starch for binding and salt. The noodles have a natural ivory color because no rice-bleaching agents are used during processing. Their surface is slightly rough and their texture is relatively substantial which helps them retain sauce and the natural aroma of rice. They are prepared by soaking them in boiling water for five to seven minutes and then rinsing them with cold water. The vermicelli can be used in soups, noodle salads, dishes with meat and aromatic herbs, or as an accompaniment to fresh and fried spring rolls.
