It’s more like u just fold it into ur sauce. From the package, it is recommended that u soak them for 15 mins. Then drain and fold them into ur sauce. Hope this helps.

Also, a restaurant in my area serves this but call it hieu tieu ap chao. They fry it to a more golden brown and don't sautee the noodles together afterwards, just lay it onto a plate and pour the stir fry on top. I love to eat it with satay and toi phi -- both of which are made fresh in the T.Lillian.Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08770870265500316782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-32064280971611562542014-07-15T08:42:25.869-07:002014-07-15T08:42:25.869-07:00Tabrina,

That's what I like to hear! :) I like stir-frying rolled rice noodles a lot. <br /><br />M_tran,<br />I just buy cheap steak, the $2 kind and slice it up. Any kind will do since you're cutting it into small pieces.

As I wanted to use what I had on hand I used rolled rice noodles and so didn't fry them or add the water to make a gravy (& so cut down the cornflour to 1tsp) - but otherwise I followed the seasoning exactly and this made a perfect stir fry.
