Vietnamese Rice Noodles Around the World: A Guide to Popular Vietnamese Noodle Products

Vietnamese cuisine is becoming increasingly popular around the world, and Vietnamese rice noodles are one of the products helping bring authentic Vietnamese flavors to international consumers.

From traditional rice vermicelli and pho noodles to colorful, nutritious and convenient noodle varieties, Vietnamese noodle products are now available in many international markets. The global trade of rice noodles and vermicelli reflects growing demand for Asian foods, convenient meal solutions and versatile rice-based products.

At SAFIMEX, we are proud to contribute to this growing market by manufacturing and supplying Vietnamese rice-based food products for international buyers. SAFIMEX’s product portfolio includes rice noodles, rice vermicelli, rice paper and other Vietnamese food products for export.

A Diverse World of Vietnamese Noodle Products

Vietnam has a rich noodle culture, with different shapes, ingredients and textures designed for different traditional dishes. Today, many of these products are adapted for export, offering international distributors, retailers and foodservice businesses a convenient way to bring Vietnamese cuisine to consumers.

  1. Stir-Fried Rice Vermicelli – Bún Gạo Xào

Stir-fried rice vermicelli, or Bún Gạo Xào, is a versatile Vietnamese rice noodle product commonly used for stir-fried dishes.

Its delicate texture allows it to absorb sauces and seasonings while maintaining a pleasant bite. It can be prepared with vegetables, tofu, chicken, seafood or other ingredients, making it suitable for both traditional Vietnamese dishes and modern Asian-inspired recipes.

For international markets, dried rice vermicelli is particularly convenient because it is easy to store, transport and prepare.

  1. Dried Rice Noodle – Bún Tươi Khô

Dried rice noodle is one of the most recognizable Vietnamese rice noodle products in export markets.

Inspired by traditional fresh noodle –  bún tươi, the dried version offers a longer shelf life and convenient preparation while retaining the characteristic rice noodle texture.

It can be used in popular dishes such as:

  • Vietnamese vermicelli bowls
  • Spring rolls
  • Stir-fried noodles
  • Noodle salads
  • Soups and hot dishes

The versatility of rice vermicelli makes it an attractive product for wholesalers, distributors, restaurants and retailers worldwide.

  1. Instant Pho – Phở Ăn Liền

Instant pho combines the traditional identity of Vietnamese pho with the convenience of modern food consumption.

With easy preparation and familiar Vietnamese flavors, instant pho is particularly suitable for busy consumers who want a quick meal without giving up the distinctive character of Vietnamese cuisine.

Vietnamese instant pho has also become an important export category. International food manufacturers are increasingly developing instant pho and rice-based convenience foods for markets in Asia, Europe, North America and Australia.

  1. Glass Noodles – Miến Dong

Miến dong, traditionally made from cassava starch, is another familiar noodle product in Vietnamese cuisine.

After cooking, glass noodles become translucent with a smooth and slightly chewy texture. They are commonly used in soups, stir-fries, spring rolls and traditional Vietnamese dishes.

Because of their versatility, glass noodles can also be incorporated into many Asian-inspired recipes, making them suitable for international foodservice and retail markets.

  1. Brown Rice Vermicelli – Bún Gạo Lứt

As consumers become more interested in diverse grains and healthier-looking food choices, brown rice vermicelli has gained attention in international markets.

Made using brown rice, this noodle variety offers a distinctive color and flavor compared with traditional white rice vermicelli.

SAFIMEX supplies brown rice vermicelli for export, including products positioned as gluten-free rice-based noodle options.

Brown rice vermicelli can be used in salads, noodle bowls, stir-fries and many other recipes, giving distributors an attractive alternative to conventional rice noodles.

  1. Five-Color Rice Vermicelli – Bún Ngũ Sắc

Food is not only about taste—it is also about visual appeal.

Five-color rice vermicelli, or Bún Ngũ Sắc, brings natural colors to the traditional Vietnamese noodle experience. Different colors can be created using vegetable or plant-based ingredients, resulting in an eye-catching product suitable for creative cooking and food presentation.

This type of colorful rice noodle can appeal to consumers looking for unique Asian food products, especially in modern retail, specialty food and restaurant markets.

SAFIMEX offers colorful rice vermicelli as part of its Vietnamese rice noodle export range.

  1. Moringa Rice Vermicelli – Bún Chùm Ngây

Moringa rice vermicelli, or Bún Chùm Ngây, combines rice noodles with moringa as an ingredient.

The product is designed for consumers who are interested in plant-based ingredients and more diverse food choices. Its distinctive green color also provides an attractive alternative to traditional white rice noodles.

For international buyers, specialty noodles such as moringa vermicelli can help create a more differentiated product portfolio and meet demand for innovative Vietnamese food products.

  1. Tube Rice Noodles – Bánh Canh Ống

Bánh Canh is a traditional Vietnamese noodle known for its thick, soft and chewy texture. Bánh Canh Ống refers to a tube-shaped variation that provides a distinctive noodle format for Vietnamese-style soups and modern recipes.

It can be paired with seafood, shrimp, crab, pork or other ingredients to create hearty noodle dishes.

For international consumers discovering Vietnamese cuisine, unique products such as Bánh Canh Ống offer an opportunity to explore noodle varieties beyond the familiar pho and rice vermicelli.

Why Vietnamese Rice Noodles Are Suitable for Global Markets

The international appeal of Vietnamese noodles comes from more than their connection to Vietnamese cuisine.

Versatile and Easy to Prepare

Dried rice noodles can be stored conveniently and prepared in a variety of ways, from boiling and soaking to stir-frying and adding to soups.

Suitable for Different Cuisines

Vietnamese rice noodles can be used in authentic Vietnamese recipes as well as fusion dishes. This versatility makes them suitable for restaurants, Asian supermarkets, foodservice operators and home cooks.

Growing Interest in Rice-Based Foods

Rice-based products are increasingly relevant to consumers seeking alternatives to wheat-based foods. Vietnamese exporters are responding with a wider range of rice noodles, pho, vermicelli and specialty products.

Convenient for International Distribution

Dried noodles generally offer advantages in storage, transportation and shelf life compared with fresh noodle products. This makes them particularly practical for international wholesale and distribution.
