EXPERT TIPS

1. Do not over cook the noodles as it will turn sticky. So always follow the package instructions.

Generally it is suggested to cook noodles al dente, which literally means cook so as to be still firm when bitten.

2. This is common practice of running the noodles from cold water immediately after boiling, to stop cooking process. This way noodles loose so much of starch and shine.

Instead of running through cold water, spread noodles on wide tray and apply some oil over them to prevent them from sticking.

3. Always saute the veggies on high heat.

4. Don’t let the crunch of vegetables go by overcooking them.

ADDITIONAL TIP

Don’t discard the water in which noodles are boiled. This starchy thick water can be used in thickening the gravy or soups.
