Have you tried quinoa pasta? Better is on the tongue of the taster,
but I can assure you that it's different from rice pasta. Thicker
shapes like elbows and shells have firmer textures with both quinoa
and rice.

I use rice noodles for pad thai. They form a solid glob if I cook them
like wheat noodles. Instead, I soak them in two changes of hot water
off the stove. They're OK with some sauces. I haven't tried tomato.
