    FAQ

    How do you cook glass noodles?

    Glass noodles don’t actually need to be cooked in boiling water, so how should they be prepared? The simplest method for preparing them is to cover them with boiling water in a heatproof bowl, let them sit for 10 to 15 minutes to soften, and then drain.

    Do you cook noodles before adding to stir fry?

    Noodles used for stir-frying typically need to be presoaked or boiled before using. Noodles for stir-fries should be boiled to the right doneness if you’re using egg noodles, wheat noodles, or buckwheat noodles.

    How do you make glass noodles not stick?

    After the noodles have been rinsed, combine them with a little oil in a bowl to further prevent sticking. Every five or ten minutes until you’re ready to use them, throw them away.

    Can you overcook glass noodles?

    Glass noodles are much harder to overcook. Glass noodles have what I refer to as a “wide range of acceptable doneness,” in contrast to the overcooked rice noodles that break into tiny pieces that are a common pad thai issue. Therefore, even if you accidentally added a little too much water, they will still absorb it and maintain a great texture.
