fried rice noodles.
You fry noodles straight from the packet. Do not boil. Break noodles up into half or smaller if you prefer - they puff up very quickly so smaller pieces are easier to manage. Try using some clean sissies to make cutting noodles easier. Kids love these fried noodles. Try keeping some aside and sprinkling some chaat masala on them when fresh out of oil!! Yum.
