Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Gluten-free rice noodles
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the rice noodles by soaking them in hot water for 5-7 minutes or until they are soft but not overcooked. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
Pat the noodles dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is essential for achieving a crispy texture when frying.
In a deep frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 180°C (350°F). Test the oil by dropping a small piece of noodle into it; if it sizzles and puffs up immediately, the oil is ready.
Carefully place a small handful of the dried noodles into the hot oil using tongs or a slotted spoon. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry each batch of noodles for 1-2 minutes, flipping gently as needed, until they puff up and turn lightly golden and crispy. Remove the noodles using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining noodles until all are fried and crispy.
While the noodles are still warm, sprinkle them with salt, ground white pepper, and sesame seeds (if using), tossing gently to coat evenly.
Allow the noodles to cool completely before serving. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain their crunch.
