made the rice noodles before, you are in for a surprise. The literally explode
in size in the oil and it is magic!! The oil has to be HOT or it won't work
though. The first time I did it on my own, I didn't have the oil hot enough,
the noodles laid in the bottom of the wok and played dead!! Good Luck!
