小贴士 Tips

* When cooking noodles, don’t rush to stir them right after dropping them into the pot. Wait until the water boils again, then only stir it — to prevent the noodles from breaking.
* You can also make extra: portion out the raw noodles and freeze them, in bags or containers. Just be sure to dust them generously with flour to keep them from sticking together.
