To prepare these rice noodles, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the dried noodles and cook for a short time, usually just a few minutes, until they are tender but still have a slight chew. Drain the noodles immediately and rinse them with cool water to prevent them from sticking together. Once drained, they are ready to be added to your favorite stir-fry, soup, or salad. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become mushy.
How it differs from similar foods
Their texture is generally softer and more delicate than pasta. They also cook much faster than many dried pasta varieties.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any unused noodles in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain their freshness and prevent them from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry. Ensure the container is sealed tightly.
