Ingredients:

• rice noodles or sticks† 100-200 g (3.5-7 oz)
• chicken stock or water 1 to 2 cups
• salt 1/4-1/2 tsp
• cooking oil 1/2-1 tbsp

1. Weigh out the noodles to use. Packages typically contain 400g, 200g is a large serving for two people.
2. Put noodles in a bowl or pan and cover with cool water. Let stand until noodles soften, 1/2 hour is probably sufficient, but longer won't hurt.
3. Cook vegetables, meats in wok.
4. Food may be left in wok, or you may prefer to remove some or all before cooking noodles.
5. The amount of liquid to add is important. The rule of thumb is 1 cup (240ml) of stock/water for every 100g of dry noodles you started with. That's why it's worth weighing the noodles before soaking.
6. When ready to cook noodles, drain and add to the wok. Stir it around in the hot oil in the pan for a minute then immediately adding measure amount of stock.
7. Reduce heat to medium. Stir the noodles in the liquid intermittently. When the liquid is nearly all absorbed, the noodles are done!
8. Serve noodles and other food promptly.
