Rice noodles with vegetables
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. It's important to know that rice noodles can easily be overcooked. If your noodles are no thicker than 5 mm, they cook very quickly. It's enough to simply pour boiling water over them. Keep the noodles in boiling water for no more than 5 minutes. If you leave them in the water too long, they will turn into mush. If your noodles are already cooked but the main ingredients aren't ready yet, drain the noodles in a colander and set aside. There's no need to oil the noodles. They can wait until the rest of the dish is ready, and you'll have time to prepare everything without missing the right moment. The finished dish can now be served.
