Cooking Rice Noodles – Traditional Method

The traditional method is soaking dried rice noodles in room temperature water for at least 1 hour. Be sure there is enough water to completely immerse the noodles. After 1 hour, they should be soft, firm but flexible. At this point they are ready for cooking. Drain off water before using.
