First we will tackle the rice noodles. Buy the thin variety of rice noodles that you can find in the super market. Boil a big pot of water ( 2 litres) until hot and bubbling. Switch off the flame and add in the dried noodles to the hot water. Make sure the noodles is fully immersed. Let it sit in the hot water for 3-4 minutes. The noodles would have swollen by this time. Drain the excess water and set aside to drain in a colander. These noodles cook very quickly. Just a soak in hot water and they are done. Do not over cook the noodles or they will become very soggy.
