- Tips and Tricks for Success
- For perfectly springy noodles, make sure you only boil them as long as directed and as soon as you drain them, rinse them under cold water. This stops the cooking process and helps the noodles hold their texture.
- If the sauce is too thick, add half a teaspoon of water at a time until you get your desired thickness. You want it thick enough to coat the noodles but thin enough that it's able to stir into and coat the noodles easily.
Give the sauce a taste before coating the noodles. Here are some simple ways to troubleshoot your sauce:
It's too thick. Add water. It's too spicy. Add more peanut butter and soy sauce to mellow it out. It's too tangy. Add more peanut butter. It's too sweet. Add more soy sauce.
- It's too thick. Add water.
- It's too spicy. Add more peanut butter and soy sauce to mellow it out.
