Mini-guide: how to typically prepare noodles
- Boil or soak noodles according to package instructions; thin rice noodles often only need to be soaked, while wheat, ramen, and udon noodles typically boil for a few minutes.
- Rinse rice noodles briefly in cold water after preparation if they are to be used in salads or stir-fries, to prevent them from sticking together.
- For stir-fries: cook the noodles slightly less than fully done, then toss them with sauce, vegetables, and protein in the pan.
- For soup: place the cooked noodles in the bowl, pour hot broth over them, and top with herbs, chili, egg, tofu, meat, or spring onions.
Tip: Preparation can vary by brand, size, and product type, so always follow the package instructions when cooking with the products.
