Sympatric speciation is the formation of two or more descendant species from a single ancestral species all occupying the same geographic location. Often-cited examples of sympatric speciation are found in insects that become dependent on different host plants in the same area.
Rice noodles are a type of semi-transparent pasta made from rice flour and water. Most are very long and thin, but you can also find flat rice noodles, as well. These noodles cook notably fast and can actually turn to mush if cooked for too long, so it's important to know how to cook them properly.
Rice vermicelli are thin rice-flour noodles common in Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, and other Southeast Asian cuisines, where they are often used in stir-fries, soups, spring rolls, and salads. Don't confuse rice vermicelli with cellophane noodles, another thin Asian noodle that's made with mung bean starch.ow to prep: Rice vermicelli only need to be soaked in hot water, instead of boiled, before they're ready to use in stir-fries or other dishes. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, remove the pot from the heat, and add the noodles. Let the noodles soak until they're tender, about 5 minutes.
