Cooking Techniques
- Stirring in noodles in sauce: Use tongs and gradually grab the noodles from the bottom of the pan and move it upwards(mixing vertically instead of horizontally). This will give you a cleaner working space and prevent spills.
- Salt and boiling water: Put salt inside water that is to be boiled and close the lid. This will speed the boiling process as salt raises the boiling point of the water, allowing for the noodles to cook a lot quicker than the standard boiling point(100 degrees C).
- Noodles and boiling water: Put the noodles at the same time to avoid partial incomplete cooking. Also, put the noodles in the pot of boiling water only when the water has begun to boil to ensure correct cook timing.
