Ugh, thank God! Tried to make pho for the first time and it came out absolutely dreadful, being all mushy. This method had it come out perfectly. Thank you! 🎉
Hi Lily, thank you so much to show us the right method to cook "Bánh Phở" from A to Z. I know it took me a while to find the right way and now I found it ! Have a good one 😊
Hi l have two packets of rice stick noodles,one made in Thailand the other Vietnam ,the Vietnam one is around 5 mm Thai one 10 mm.the Vietnam one says to boil for five mins then put into cold water briefly drain and stir fry,the other is as you say just soak in warm water for several minutes.its the same ingredients so is it best just soaking rather than five min boil on Vietnam ones,confused many thanks.
Hi Jay. It sounds like you have medium and large-sized noodles. The rule of thumb is to always soak the noodles first. I would ignore the boiling instructions because that ruins your ability to cook with them (if that is your intent). The length of time to soak them depends on the noodle size. Typically for Medium Noodles, soak them for 20 to 25 minutes and for large noodles, soak them for 30 to 40 minutes in lukewarm water. If you're interested, I wrote a more detailed post to explain how to get chewy noodles by taking noodle size, soak time and purpose into consideration. You can read about it here if you like: sweet2savoury.com/how-to/soak-and-use-flat-pho-rice-noodles/ Hopefully, this was helpful? ☺
That’s what the fuck I’m talkin bout shawty! Perfect for any hot soup, especially in this cold weather. Mmmm……. Growing up in Fresno, ca with the Asian homies.The culture, the food, the love…
Hi Anushka. If you end up with leftover soaked noodles, you can place two sheets of paper towel inside a plastic zip-top bag (to help absorb moisture) or into an airtight container, place the noodles inside and store them in the refrigerator. Use leftover noodles the next day since wet noodles will continue to soak and get soggy if you leave them for longer than two days. I hope this helps?
Hi JLD. Yes, same process however your soaking time and boiling time may need to be adjusted since they are cut into different shapes than noodle strands. I would aim to soak between 10 to 15 minutes in lukewarm water, then use the same dunk / boil method for 5 seconds before using them for your drunken noodles recipe.
Hi @MartinoMeraiah, these noodles are perfect for pad thai! Soak them in water before using. The sauce in the pad thai will complete the cooking of the noodles.
Hi Guido! Do you mean soaking the noodles? I recommend lukewarm water while soaking the noodles. Cold water will take longer to soften the noodles. I have written instructions on how to do so here: sweet2savoury.com/how-to/soak-and-use-flat-pho-rice-noodles/

It would be kind-of nice if the manufacturers stopped putting completely incorrect cooking instructions on the packages.
I agree. I suppose that everyone has their own method, but this is something that has worked for me for years :)
Never trust asian products instructions, not just noodles but anything:)
This kept happening to me too!!! I thought I was stupid 😂
My 14oz pack of Three ladies Brand Banh Pho noodles says soak for 60min 😐
I have always overcooked my noodles into pasty mush for most of my life. This helped so much. Thank you.
I'm glad it was helpful! Rice noodles are definitely tricky to cook with! 😊

How do you store the remaining soaked noodles?
Hi Anushka. If you end up with leftover soaked noodles, you can place two sheets of paper towel inside a plastic zip-top bag (to help absorb moisture) or into an airtight container, place the noodles inside and store them in the refrigerator. Use leftover noodles the next day since wet noodles will continue to soak and get soggy if you leave them for longer than two days. I hope this helps?
You put them in the trash
In actual shock. The package of the noodles said “boil in 750ml water for 6 minutes” thats it.
Yep, that's one way to get mushy noodles! lol
I have rice flakes-product of Thailand. Should I use the same process as you showed-to make drunken noodles? Thank you!
Hi JLD. Yes, same process however your soaking time and boiling time may need to be adjusted since they are cut into different shapes than noodle strands. I would aim to soak between 10 to 15 minutes in lukewarm water, then use the same dunk / boil method for 5 seconds before using them for your drunken noodles recipe.
@@Sweet2Savoury Thank you!
Is this good for pad thai?

Super helpful. Thanks
I'm glad! Thanks for watching! :)

It says “rinse with warm water” in your video. Pretty sure they mean rinse.@@Sweet2Savoury
