• 1. Use plenty of hot water

  Place 100g of noodles loosely in about 1 liter of boiling water in a large pot.

  Point: Use plenty of hot water in a large pot!

  Boiling the noodles in a small pot with a small amount of hot water will cause the noodles to stick together into a dumpling-like mass.

  

• 2. Use high heat until boiling

  After adding the noodles, use chopsticks to gently stir from the bottom of the pot to keep the noodles from sticking to the pot.
  When the water boils again, adjust the heat to prevent overflowing. * Refer to the boiling time indicated on the back of the product.

  Point: The trick is to rinse quickly!

  If you do not quickly cool the noodles after boiling, they will cook through residual heat and will lose firmness.

  After boiling, quickly transfer the noodles to a colander and thoroughly rinse while rubbing under running water to remove the slickness from the noodles.
  Drain the noodles thoroughly and enjoy with your favorite noodle sauce and condiments.
