Introduction to “Kenmin Yaki Be-fun” Stir Fried Rice Noodles
As the name suggests, the principle ingredient in “Be-fun” (=Bii fun) rice noodles is rice powder （“Bii” = “rice” and “fun” = “powder”）. From olden times they have been one of the most popular types of noodle to be eaten in the south of China, Taiwan and South-East Asia.
Varieties of rice such as Japonica which are the most popular in Japan have a high water content and the grains cling together, and they have been developed over time so that they can be eaten simply in the form of “rice”. In contrast, in regions where varieties such as Indica are more commonly eaten, the tendency for such rice to separate rather than cling means that it lends itself more readily to be made into noodle form, and this is the origin of our modern-day Bii fun rice noodles.
Kenmin Foods Co. Ltd. began making Bii fun rice noodles in Japan in 1950. Initially there were problems with the noodles, as it was difficult to boil and add flavor to the noodles and it took a lot of time for them to cook.
However we solved all of these problems, and the result was “Kenmin Yaki Be-fun” which were released to the market in 1960. With the released of revolutionary new products which do not require seasoning or boiling and which can be easily cooked in a single frypan, Yaki Be-fun have become an extremely popular choice as noodles and are greatly enjoyed by many Japanese people.（“Yaki” means “stir fried” in japanese）.
Yaki Be-fun are flavored using a simple soy sauce-based seasoning, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages, from young children through to the elderly, simply by stir-frying them together with your favorite vegetables.
