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.

admin answers:

Just make them how you make spaghetti noodles and when they look noodley they're ready

I'm a beginner vegan and don't know how to use rice sticks ...Help

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.

Richard asks…

how do you store cooked rice noodles?

i am looking at rice noodles for pad thai receipies as these noodles tend to soak all the water any ways to stpre it cooked

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.

How to cook Bihon rice sticks (Filipino)?

A co-worker of mine kindly bought some rice sticks for me from a Filipino store, but I'm not sure how to cook them. The recipe on the bag says to soak and drain them, but I'm not sure how. I looked at a couple pancit recipes online, but none are very specific on how to do this... How long should they be soaked? How hot should the water be? Etc. Please be detailed!

admin answers:

Bihon rice stick is essentially a vermicelli if you're familiar with it. So you can put it in a broth (as soup), or stri fry them just like when you stir fry noodle. Btw, make sure that you drown them into a hot water bath first for 20 mins or so until it becomes soft if you plan to cook them any way other than boiling.

How to cook rice without getting the cooked rice sticking to the bottom?

admin answers:

That is difficult on some ranges. Add twice as much water as rice and bring to a boil. Cover and lower the flame as small as possible and steam for 18 minutes. The problem is that some ranges do not allow setting the flame small enough. I never had problems with my old range but with a new one that I now have I get the sticking. Try experimenting with a little more water if you can't lower the flame enough.

How do you cook rice in a pot?

So I'm trying to follow the recipe her's what it says
Add the butter to the saucepan and heat amount of water would be to add the rice, stick in the index finger on surface of rice and fill water up to the second joint of the index finger.

So am I to cook it in a rice cooker or...a sauce pan...I don't get it

admin answers:

This is my rice and how i do it...

Right in a sauce pot on stove top.

Instant rice..........

Fill your sauce pot 3/4 way fulll
bring to rolling boil
add 1/2 cup to 1 cup rice ( depending no how much you want, rice like pasta expands, even when it dont look like a lot it sometiems is)
bring rice now to a boil/about five minutes or so
test rice by taste
if done enough...drain rice from water...rinse with warm

from here you can add whatever you want. I drain it so its not all sticky stuck together from the water absrobing all the water like it actually tells you to do. This way to me is better..but everyone has their way.




Regular grain rice...

Fill pot 3/4 way full
bring to rolling boil
ad 1/2 cup to 1cup rice ( depending no how much you want, rice like pasta expands, even when it dont look like a lot it sometiems is)
bring this now to a boil..regular rice usualy takes longer about 20 minutes or so....
Test rice by taste
if done enough...drain rice from water...rinse with warm water

from here now you can add whatever you want to it, i do it this way here as well so its not sticky and pastey..

You can add veggies, salt,pepper,cheese, whatever you want now to your cooked rice..( either one instant or regular)

Hopes this helped you out some huni...

Sandy asks…

Can someone please tell me how to cook rice without it sticking the the saucepan and going all sticky?

admin answers:

I put a little salt in the water and a little olive oil. I use the amount of rice and water as directed. I cook it as directed ... Time wise. I bring the water to a boil add rice .... Lower the heat and then cover. I do nothing else until it is done. Always turns out great.
