How to Cook Rice Noodles
Pin RecipeThe best way on how to cook rice noodles is a case of personal choice. You will soon decide which method suits you best.
Equipments:
- Bowl
- thong
Ingredients:
- 8 oz dried rice noodles
Instructions:
Option 1: The quick hot water soak
- With this option, boil a pan of hot water, remove it from the heat and pour it straight over the noodles.
- Give them a quick stir to help them separate, cover, and leave to soak for between six to ten minutes.
- Drain the hot water and rinse the rice noodles under the cold water tap. They are ready to use.
- Experiment with the soak time to get the chewiness you prefer.
Option 2: The slow hot water soak
- With this second option, use hot tap water and allow them to soak for about about 30 minutes.
- Although the cooking time is much slower, this method reduces the chances of oversoaking and ending up with too soft noodles.
Option 3: The long coldwater soak
- Soaking rice noodles in cold water requires a significantly longer soak – several hours. This method is even better at ensuring the noodles don’t get over-soaked if you have the time.
Option 4: The quick boil method
- This is the fastest method of all – it only takes a one-minute boil (depending on the amount you put), after which you rinse the noodles immediately in cold water to stop the cooking process.
- However, you need to take precautions for the cooking duration because you can easily overcook the noodles and end up with a stodgy, gooey mess.
