Notes
TIP: After 8 minutes, drain and rinse with HOT water. Usually, people rinse it in cold water to stop the cooking. But since we are using the “passive” cooking method, there is really no risk of over-cooking the noodles. Instead, we rinse it in hot water, so the rice noodles are not sticky after the cool down.
