Notes
These rice noodles are very delicate and gets over cooked and mushy very soon.
The best way to cook them is by boiling some water in a pan. Once the water comes to a boil, pour it over the noodles and let the noodles cook in the heat of the water.
If you feel that they are not cooked perfectly, then keep the pan on heat and cook until they are just done.
Next, strain all the water and add a few drops of oil and mix the noodles properly so that they don’t stick to each other.
Also, cook the noodles on medium high heat, so that the noodles doesn't cook further and become soggy.
