Instructions
- Boil: Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. (This should take about 7-minutes, depending on if you are cooking on a gas stove or electric.) (An 8-quart pan allows plenty of room for the noodles to separate.
- Turn off the stove and add rice noodles to the pot.
- Gently stir the rice noodles to ensure they are fully submerged and begin to separate.
- Cover with a lid and let the rice noodles sit in the hot water for 5-10 minutes. (Until the noodles are al dente.) This soaking time will vary depending on the thickness and width of the rice noodle you picked. Start checking the rice noodles every 30-60 seconds at the 5-minute mark to make sure you don’t overcook them. (This would result in overly soft, mushy, and potentially sticky noodles.)
- Strain the noodles and briefly rinse with cool water.
