Cook the hollow noodles. Because the hollow noodles are difficult to cook, put some oil and salt in the water before cooking. This is what my Canadian teacher told me. This way, the hollow noodles will be more delicious. Oh, put the cooked hollow noodles in cold water and then filter the water and set aside. Method: ① First boil a pot of water, then add a pinch of salt. Because after adding salt, the cooked spaghetti will be more elastic
② After boiling the water, then pick up the spaghetti vertically and immerse the end of the spaghetti in the water for a few seconds
③Wait until the end of the spaghetti is soaked until soft, then put all the spaghetti into the boiling water, and stir it with chopsticks.
④Cook according to the cooking time specified on the packaging bag. Generally speaking, it takes 7 to 9 minutes to cook traditional pasta.
⑤ Turn off the heat and cover the pasta for a few minutes. If cooking traditional style, bake for 5 to 7 minutes.
The cooking time and the time for stewing the pasta after cooking will depend on the pasta. It depends on the thickness; because foreigners prefer to eat refreshing and hard pasta, the cooking time recommended on the pasta packaging bag may sometimes be shorter, so you should adjust the cooking time by yourself; cooked pasta such as If it is not to be eaten immediately, you can rinse it with water after it is left, and the pasta will return to its original elasticity; or you can use a little oil to scoop it out so that it will not stick; the water used to cook the pasta can be reserved for the next cooking time. Use it, the cooked pasta will be more fragrant.
