Here's how to prepare noodles 🍜:
Ingredients:
- Noodles (any type)
- Water
- Salt (optional)
- Oil (optional)
Instructions:
1. Boil Water:
Fill a pot with water, enough to fully submerge the noodles. Place the pot on the stove and bring the water to a boil.
2. Add Salt and Oil:
(Optional) Add a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of oil to the boiling water. This helps to season the noodles and prevent them from sticking together.
3. Cook the Noodles:
Add the noodles to the boiling water. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to the package instructions, typically 2-8 minutes, depending on the type and thickness of the noodles.
4. Check Doneness:
Taste a noodle to check if it's cooked to your preference. It should be soft but still slightly firm (al dente).
5. Drain the Noodles:
Once the noodles are cooked, turn off the heat and pour the contents of the pot into a strainer or colander to drain the water.
6. Rinse (Optional):
If you're making cold noodle dishes, rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool them down.
7. Serve:
Toss the noodles with your favorite sauce or add them to your dish, and enjoy!
Variations:
- Stir-Fry:
After boiling, toss the noodles in a hot pan with vegetables, meat, or tofu, along with sauce (soy sauce, oyster sauce, etc.).
- Soup:
Add the noodles directly to broth or soup after boiling.
- Cold Salad:
Rinse boiled noodles with cold water, then toss with vegetables, dressing, and protein for a cold noodle salad.
You can now enjoy your delicious home made noodle !
