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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Repeat with the remaining noodles until all are fried and crispy.
Step 7
While the noodles are still warm, sprinkle them with salt, ground white pepper, and sesame seeds (if using), tossing gently to coat evenly.
Step 8
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.
