      here here. I was sus with the cooking instructions. i had a manager whose mom told her to soak in hot water for 5 minutes, and she didn't believe her mom etiher, coz the package insturctions said to boil xyz minutes

    I came across this video by chance and decided to watch. I'm glad I did. No more soggy / mushy rice vermicelli; the fact it's actually easier than boiling is a nice bonus.
    *"Never trust package instructions on Asian products"* made me laugh as well 😂

    Perfect timing on this video! I live in a rural area in Pennsylvania, US and the closest Asian Market is about 2 hours away. I recently was in that area and stocked up on a lot of Asian supplies so I can make more of your wonderful recipes. I do tend to end up with much noodles so this will be very helpful.

  • @SM-gm7up

    OMG I made Mie Goreng yesterday using medium thick rice noodles. I used the EXACT technique at the 6 minute mark. My noodles were nice and chewy and did not break or clump together! And 24 hours later you posted this video! I feel like a pro!

    Hi from Germany! Just found this channel and I want to thank you for this long and very well explained tutorial. I started to cook Asian food a few weeks ago and tbh I didn't expect having so much difference between the kinds of noodles. I surely will follow your advices.

    @earlystrings1 Před rokem +19

    Encyclopedic! One thing that probably all Thai people know but i didn’t: Rice noodles are cooked during manufacture. There is no raw flour, unlike western pasta, so you don’t have to worry about that, just getting the right texture. This helped me not overcook.

  • @scodes77

    I stumbled into this video and this is such a great tutorial for the noodle. I never thought there would be noticeable difference Vietnamese ones and Thai ones.

  • @Onbehaard
    @Onbehaard Před rokem +8

    This is excellent! Knowing different types of rice noodles (vermicelli, ho fun, mee hon) is part of growing up in the Far East, but trying to explain the differences to my British friends and how to cook them takes forever. Vietnames vermicelli, Thai vermicelli, Chinese vermicelli and Indonesian vermicelli are not the same thing and they are all confusingly labelled as 米粉 in Chinese. So thank you very much for this cystal clear video. One thing, though; I really wish all these dry noodles didn't come in pastic wrappers. It's an on-going battle between cutting down on single use plastic and craving for rice noodles. I even make my own ho fun, but it's never quite as good. ขอบคุณมาก!

  • @Yuli-sy1uy
    @Yuli-sy1uy Před rokem +5

    Watching your videos fills me with the urge to teleport back to South East Asia. I really miss the variety of fresh food there. Even coconut milk and coconut water just taste different here on this other side of the world. I missed freshly squeezed coconut milk from my favourite auntie at the wet market and coconut water that tasted so fresh and cool even without ice, freshly chopped from the tree.

  • @humblehummingbird2011
    @humblehummingbird2011 Před rokem +5

    This tutorial is great! I mainly use the vermicelli noodles for spring rolls and for pad thai dish I found online. I did soak them in hot water for literally a few seconds and added them into the mixture. Thankfully they didn't mush up and I ate the entire pan myself!

  • @Fafsonable
    @Fafsonable Před rokem +2

    Thank you so much!! I have seen various recipes mention soaking the noodles first, but it was never explained how to check if they are done soaking.. It is so helpful to know they are supposed to be droopy and not resisting.

  • @eswillie
    @eswillie Před rokem +6

    I'm glad you shared this. I've actually come to the same or similar conclusions after using a variety of rice noodles, and most of the time (not always) they come out well. As an aside, I've also begun doing pastas (egg noodles/semolina) in the tomato or other sauces I'm cooking rather than boiling them first; they come out more al dente that way. On the other hand, doing it that way means I need to decide when to add the other ingredients such as chicken or shrimp so that they don't overcook. Still learning and experimenting at 77, so its all good.

  • @leester9487

    Thank you so so much for this video!!! I've been using the medium size for soup noodles and stir-fry and they work so well! Now after watching your introduction, I'm going to try thicker ones (I initially thought they're used for something else). And thanks for the tips for stir-frying with the fresh (Hon's) noodles--I tried them a few times and they're just too delicate to work with so I have pretty much given up on them. But I think I'll give it another try using your microwave method! Thank you Pailin!

    Thank you! I made Pad Thai successfully for the first time yesterday! The noodles were perfect texture and the flavor was amazing. Although I do need you to go with me to the H Mart when buying the noodles as it took me about 20 mins reading packages to find Thai noodles with rice and water as the only ingredients lol. I have tried through the years to make pad thai without success I even took two different cooking classes to learn how to make it ugh! But now I can make it at home and with the price of eating out this is awesome.
