What is Asian vermicelli? 

Vermicelli, also known as bean thread glass noodles or Chinese vermicelli, refers to thin, translucent noodles made from various starches. While commonly associated with Asian dishes, vermicelli is enjoyed thanks to its versatility and easy preparation. Vermicelli absorbs flavors beautifully, and pairs well with many ingredients, including soups, spring rolls, and serves as a gluten-free alternative in many dishes. 

Rice vermicelli 

Rice vermicelli usually refers to thin noodles made from rice or wheat, depending on the cuisine and region. Unlike bean or glass noodles, traditional vermicelli has a softer, more familiar pasta-like texture. In Asian cooking, rice vermicelli is the most common form. It is widely used in Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai dishes, such as noodle soups, stir-fries, salads, and spring rolls. Wheat vermicelli is also used in some Chinese and South Asian recipes, especially in soups and dry noodle dishes. For retailers, traditional vermicelli appeals to customers who want a mild flavor, quick cooking time, and easy-to-use noodles. It is often sold in different lengths, from about 2 to 3mm, including short-cut varieties for convenience meals and longer strands for classic dishes such as Bun Ha Noi. At Beagley Copperman, we carefully source authentic rice vermicelli from popular brands, including Lami, Madam Huyen, and Ngon Ngon. These rice vermicelli brands work well in both Asian food aisles and world food or pasta sections, making them a flexible product for retail shelves.

Do you have gluten-free vermicelli?

Many types, including bean vermicelli, arrowroot vermicelli, and lungkow vermicelli, are naturally gluten-free. Rice vermicelli is also gluten-free, while wheat vermicelli is not.

Can vermicelli be displayed outside the Asian food section? 

Yes, consider secondary placements in health food aisles for gluten-free options like bean or arrowroot vermicelli. Another option is to place vermicelli in the pasta section, with signage pointing out its versatility and cultural origins. 

Asian Bean vermicelli (mung bean vermicelli) 

Asian bean vermicelli, also known as bean thread glass noodles, mung bean vermicelli, or Chinese vermicelli, is made from mung bean starch. When cooked, the noodles turn clear and glossy, with a smooth, slightly chewy texture that customers recognize as high quality. They have a neutral taste, which allows them to absorb sauces, broths, and seasonings very well. This makes bean vermicelli one of the most versatile noodle types in Asian cooking. It is widely used in Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Korean dishes. It is popular in stir-fries, hot pots, soups, and as a filling for spring rolls and dumplings. The noodles cook quickly, either by soaking or boiling for a short time, which makes them convenient for home cooks and foodservice kitchens. Different strand lengths are available, including shorter cuts for quick meals and longer strands for traditional dishes. For retailers, mung bean vermicelli is perfect as it attracts a wider audience. It is naturally gluten-free, has a long shelf life, and suits Asian food aisles, world food sections, and gluten-free ranges. We offer multiple sizes, including 80g, 100g, 200g, 500g, and 5kg, making it suitable for both retail shelves and wholesale buyers. Our premium range includes Kaset bean vermicelli lines such as Chef Select, Chef Menu, and Charcoal Bean Vermicelli. The charcoal version stands out with its natural black color, drawing attention on shelves and to customers looking for something different and premium. Among these brands, we have Dragon & Phoenix, LaMi, and Madam Huyen.

Arrowroot Asian vermicelli 

Arrowroot Asian vermicelli (Mien Dong) is a very thin, premium type of vermicelli made from arrowroot starch, flour, and water, known for its smooth texture and clean, light taste. When cooked, these noodles become soft and silky while still holding their shape, making them ideal for delicate dishes. Compared to other vermicelli types, arrowroot vermicelli is easy to digest and does not feel heavy, which many customers appreciate. This vermicelli is commonly used in gourmet Asian cooking, especially in soups, light stir-fries, and clear broths where texture and appearance are important. It absorbs flavors well without becoming sticky or breaking apart. Arrowroot vermicelli is naturally gluten-free, making it a strong option for customers with dietary restrictions or those looking for wheat-free alternatives. For retailers, arrowroot Asian vermicelli adds value to the vermicelli aisle by offering a premium choice. It is available in 250g packs, suitable for supermarkets, Asian food stores, and tokos. Its quality, digestibility, and gluten-free profile make it attractive to both traditional Asian consumers and new customers exploring Asian cuisine.

Asian Lungkow Vermicelli 

Lungkow vermicelli is one of the most recognized and trusted types of Chinese vermicelli, valued for its high quality and versatility. Made from high-grade mung bean starch, these noodles become clear and glossy when cooked, with a firm texture that stays intact. Unlike softer vermicelli, lungkow vermicelli does not break easily and keeps its shape even after longer cooking times. This makes lungkow vermicelli ideal for soups, stir-fries, steaming, filling for dumplings and spring rolls, where vermicelli's strength and appearance are important. It absorbs flavors well while maintaining a clean bite, which is why it is widely used in both home kitchens and professional food service. It is available in retail packs up to 1000g and bulk formats from 100g, making it suitable for supermarkets, oriental stores, and catering customers looking to meet regular customer demand.

What makes lungkow vermicelli stand out among other types? 

Lungkow vermicelli is made from high-quality mung bean starch, giving it superior firmness and transparency. It holds its shape better when cooked, making it a favorite for soups, stir-fries, and spring rolls.
