To cook perfect noodles, you should try:

Fill a big pot with 4–5 quarts of water—enough to cover your noodles completely. Bring the water to a gentle boil on medium-high heat. Don’t crank it up too high or you’ll risk gluey noodles. Add ½ tablespoon of oil and ½ teaspoon of salt. This helps keep the noodles from sticking and adds a little flavor. Drop in your noodles and give them a quick stir. If you’re using long noodles, break them up unless you’re superstitious about longevity! Boil dried noodles for 8–12 minutes, fresh ones for just 1–4 minutes. Taste test for that perfect bite. Drain with a colander and rinse thick or handmade noodles with cold water to get rid of extra starch. No more mushy mess—just perfect noodles every time! #NoodleTips #CookingBasics #KitchenHacks #Food #Cooking
