To make dry rice noodles soak quickly and well, you can try the following methods:
Tools/raw materials: rice noodles, warm water.
1. Choose the appropriate soaking method: Depending on the type and taste of dry rice noodles, you can choose the cold water soaking method or the hot water soaking method. The cold water soaking method is suitable for rice noodles with a thicker texture, such as Xinjiang fried rice noodles, snail noodles and Nanchang rice noodles. The hot water soaking method is suitable for finer rice noodles, such as Huaxi rice noodles and Mianyang rice noodles.
2. Control the water temperature and time: the water temperature for soaking dry rice noodles is best below 30 degrees and above 0 degrees. The lower the temperature, the longer the soaking time will be, but the better the quality of the rice noodles will be. It usually takes about 10-20 hours to soak. The hot water soaking time is relatively short, about 20 minutes.
3. Check the hard core: During the soaking process, constantly check whether the rice noodles have a hard core. Once you find a hard core, you can cut it off with your fingernails to allow the rice noodles to fully absorb the water.
4. Replace the water: During the foaming process, the water can be replaced appropriately to keep the water clean.
5. Warm water softening: After soaking, you can use warm water to soften the rice noodles, but do not add too high temperature water to avoid affecting the taste of the rice noodles.
