Boil Water:

Add Salt And Oil (Optional):
- Add 1 tsp of salt for flavor. You can also add a few drops of oil to prevent sticking.
Add Noodles:
- Gently place the noodles into the boiling water. Stir immediately to prevent clumping.
Cook
- Cook for 8–12 minutes for most dried wheat noodles or pasta.
- Stir occasionally.
- Check doneness by tasting a strand: it should be tender but firm (al dente).
Drain
- Pour noodles into a colander. Shake off excess water.
Rinse (Optional):
- For stir-fries or cold noodle dishes: rinse under cold water to stop cooking and reduce stickiness.
- For hot soups: no need to rinse.
