About Mee hoon

Mee Hoon, also known as rice vermicelli, is a thin noodle made from rice flour and water, popular in Southeast Asian cuisines such as Malaysian, Singaporean, and Indonesian dishes. It is commonly used in stir-fries, soups, and salads. Mee Hoon is naturally gluten-free and low in fat but is primarily composed of carbohydrates, making it a quick source of energy. While it lacks significant amounts of protein, vitamins, and minerals, its versatility in combining with nutrient-dense ingredients, such as vegetables and lean proteins, enhances its overall nutritional value. Mee Hoon is also a common choice for those seeking light, easily digestible meals, especially in warm climates where light dishes are preferred.
