Preparing the Noodles
Boiling 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.
