How to Cook Rice Noodles

Take the entire package of noodles (unwrapped, of course) and soak in cold water in a large, flat container like a covered casserole, for at least 30 minutes. Some packages and recipes state this is all you need to do. Don't believe them. If you like soft rice noodles, and you're not planning on cooking them in an additional recipe, do the following:

Bring a broad pot of salted water to boil. You'll be lowering your metal, hand-held strainer into it, so make sure you can reach that water. If you use a big pasta pot, you're going to have to fill it nearly to the top with water--so it would *not* be a good choice.

Right before you're ready to serve, place individual portions of the noodles in your metal, hand-held strainer. Place the strainer in the boiling water for about 20-30 seconds, stirring with chopsticks to seperate. When tender, strain the water out and serve.

How long do I cook Rice sticks/rice noodles?

I found them in the Asian section at the store; they were the closest thing I could find to the noodles for lo mein (hope they'll work!).

But thre aren't any directions on them. It's got the product, the company, the weight of the package, and the nutrition facts, and everythings in english, chinese, and maybe Japanese. But I don't see any directions.

They;re called Royal Blossom, Chantaboon Rice Sticks. They just look like long flattened spaghetti noodles (bent in half to use a smaller package, lol).

Do I have to boil them for a while like spaghetti noodles? How long? Also, how much of the package should I use? The recipe I'm using mentions making everything else and then just "adding cooked noodles" at some point; the recipes says it's got 4 servings. How much should I make? It's a 16 oz package.

Boil them like regular pasta. Cook until tender, then dunk into ice water to stop the cooking process. Add all kinds of veggies and maybe a veggie broth to make a nice soup.

How do you cook plain rice noodles (mai fun)?

I love the texture and stickiness of rice noodles but I don't like to add meat or vegetables. How can I get a little flavor and correctly cook the rice noodles? Last time I made them, they were oily and flavorless. Thanks!

admin answers:

For plain, unadorned rice noodles, just soak in hot water for about 10 minutes to soften and then boil for about 1 to 2 minutes (to cook) and drain. Now they are ready to eat as is.

Something really simple is to add with soy, sesame oil (a few drops), chopped green onins and chili paste (optional) or you can stir fry some toppings and pour atop the cooked rice noodles.

Add what flavors you like or add to soup.

admin answers:

I freeze the rice in a 'freezer friendly' container or a zip-lock bag. It can stay there for about 2 to 3 weeks and when I warm it, it is still as good as fresh.
