Chow Mein Noodles
By Rhonda Parkinson, About.com Guide
Preparing the Noodles
Using lots of water gives the noodles room to move around while cooking
Rhonda Parkinson
Cook the noodles according to the directions on the package. If no directions are available, cook the noodles in 8 cups of boiling water until they are cooked “al dente” - tender, but with a bit of resistance in the middle. Use a wooden spoon, or cooking chopsticks to separate the noodles while they are cooking.
