Instructions

For Stir-Frys

  • Place the rice noodles in a large bowl and fully submerge them in warm water. Soak according to the package instructions until the noodles are softened but still slightly firm. They should be pliable but not mushy, as they will continue cooking in the wok.
  • Drain the noodles well. They are now ready to be stir-fried with your favorite sauce, vegetables, and protein.

For Soups

  • Place the rice noodles in a large bowl and fully submerge them in warm water. Soak until the noodles are slightly softened but still firm, as they will continue cooking in the hot broth.
  • Drain the noodles well. Add the noodles directly to the hot soup broth and cook until tender.
