The best way to cook rice noodles is to put them in a large bowl and pour warm water over them then let them sit for 10-15 minutes. This will prevent them from overcooking. Test them every few minutes to make sure they’re perfectly cooked—chewy and silky is the texture we’re going for!

Don’t soak them in warm water. Take a pot of boiling water and add the rice noodles in. Boil only for 3 minutes tops and remove them immediately. If you keep the noodles in boiling water for long, you will be left with mush. Rinse them under cold water and add to your salad in the end. Toss properly and enjoy.

Rice noodles are best when served warm and freshly cooked. Avoid letting them sit for too long after cooking, as they can start to stick together. Have your sauce or stir-fry ingredients ready so you can combine them immediately. Choose the right rice noodles Rinse the noodles Cook in plenty of water Stir the noodles Cook to al dente
