I am Chinese and lament that I don't know how to cook my favorite comfort foods because I can't read Chinese cookbooks. I've saved the pan-fried noodle pancake and za jiang mein recipe.

Benjamin--rice noodles are a little different. For them, you soak them before you use them, and barely boil them before you put them in the soup. You also rinse them in cold water, to carry any extra starch off of them to keep them from getting sticky. But I am getting ahead of myself--rice noodles are a whole separate post, which is coming soon--I promise! Thank you, Maninas!

I recently was trying to recreate a Malaysian curry soup called Laksa that my boyfriend used to eat when he lived in Melbourne Australia. According to him I did a pretty good job, but my thin rice noodles ended up being way overcooked and mushy. I am going to be making this soup again for some guests this week and I think I will try your methods this time. I think the idea of putting the cold noodles in bowls and pouring the hot soup over them is marvelous. Cheers, Benjamin Thank you Barbara, you solved a mystery for me.
