How To Make Rice Paper Noodles
Follow these simple steps to prepare your rice paper noodles:
- Start by adding warm water to a large bowl. Lightly grease a cutting board with a small amount of oil.
- Take five pieces of dry rice paper and stack them on top of each other. Soak them in the warm water for a few seconds until they soften.
- Remove the rice papers from the water and place them on the greased cutting board. Use your fingers to remove any air bubbles and ensure the papers stick together.
- With a sharp knife, cut the stack of rice paper into approximately 1-inch wide noodles. Place the noodles in a bowl of cold water to prevent them from sticking. They are now ready to be paired with your favorite sauce. For added flavor, try cooking them on a pan with a sauce for a few minutes, with small splashes of water.
- To make a delicious rice paper noodle dish, heat some oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Sauté minced garlic for a minute.
- Add soy sauce, dark soy sauce (or a soy-free alternative), sugar, noodles, and baby bok choy (or your choice of vegetables) to the pan, along with a splash of water.
- Cook the mixture for around 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add small splashes of water as needed, until the noodles are cooked to your liking and have absorbed the sauce.
- Plate your noodles and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Your mouthwatering rice paper noodles are now ready to be enjoyed!
