THE SHORT VERSION

The right noodle changes the whole dish.

  1. 01

    Thin wheat noodles suit quick soups and soft stir-fries.

  2. 02

    Wide rice noodles take well to a high-heat wok.

  3. 03

    Rinse noodles only when the dish calls for cooling or removing excess starch.

  4. 04

    Follow package guidance, then taste for texture.
