To prepare these noodles, bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the dried noodles to the boiling water and cook for the time indicated on the package, usually just a few minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Once cooked to your desired tenderness, drain the noodles thoroughly. They are now ready to be tossed with your favorite sauce, added to a simmering soup, or incorporated into a stir-fry. Ensure they are well-drained to avoid a watery dish.
