Stir-fried Rice Noodles
  1. Rinse: Rinse the rice noodles within 10 seconds, then drain them.
  2. Stir fry: Stir fry the ingredients.

  4. Fluff: Add in the rice noodles when the soup stock boils, then, fluff the rice noodles, so that they can absorb the soup stock and be heated evenly. (cook:1-1.5mins)
  5. Rest: Once the rice noodles are about 90% done cooking, cover the stir-fried ingredients on top of the rice noodles, then turn off the heat and cover the wok with a lid. Let the rice noodles sit in the wok for 3 to 5 minutes. 
  6. Fluff: Open the lid and fluff the rice noodles with chopsticks. Let the cool-air flow in and the vapor escape. This step can help to increase the mouthfeel of the rice noodles.

Rice Noodle Soup
  1. Soup: Make soup and cook other ingredients which should be cooked for more than one minute. Using 50 g (one serving) dried rice noodles to cook stir-fried, we need about 100 ml water to make soup stock. Thus, cooking rice noodles soup, you should prepare more water to make soup. (50 g dried  rice noodles need more than 350 ml of water for soup.)
  2. Rinse: Rinse the rice noodles within 10 seconds.
  3. Cook: Add in the rinsed rice noodles when the soup boil, then, fluff the rice noodles and cook for one minute.

Rice Noodle Salad

  2. Ingredients: Prepare or cook other ingredients(the toppings you prefer) that go well with the sauce and rice noodles.
