How to Prepare Rice Noodles
Rice noodle is a perfect option when it comes to gluten-free cooking. They are made from rice and have a chewier bouncier texture than wheat based noodles.
You can cook them in boiling water just like regular pasta. Then drain the water well using a strainer.
If you are able to time everything right, you may transfer the noodles right into the sauce and toss. If you need a little more time (even a few minutes), rinse the noodles under running water to prevent them from cooking further. Then drizzle 2 teaspoons of oil and toss gently to avoid sticking.
