How To Cook The Perfect Noodles

When cooked at the correct temperature for the correct amount of time, your noodles will come out just the way you like them. Not following directions will result in soft, soggy over cooked or partially-raw hard undercooked noodles.

To cook the noodles, begin by boiling water in a small pot. Be sure the water comes to a boil before placing the noodles in the pot. Using a pinch of salt and a cover on the pot helps the water to boil faster. After the water comes to a boil, add the seasoning stock package. This is how the noodles get their flavor. Gently stir the stock in the water to ensure that the flavor is evenly distributed through the water.

Turn the temperature to low after placing the noodles in the pot. Depending on the number of packs used, they only take between 3 and 5 minutes to cook. You will know the noodles are ready because they will become soft and break apart. If you are able to stir through the noodle without a problem, they are ready to be taken out of the pot. Draining the noodles with a strainer allows you to enjoy the noodles without the excess soup.
