How to Cook Noodles Without Sticking or Breaking

Stir-fried noodles. If not done properly, it can result in "sticking" the noodles, clumping together or sticking to vegetables and meat. One key point of stir-fried noodles is to ensure that the noodles are separated before cooking. For example, you can first put the noodles into a large colander and then submerge it in boiling water. Gently shake the colander for several minutes until the noodles separate. Then, add oil to a wok or pan and heat it up until the oil is hot. Pour in the noodles and stir-fry until cooked; this prevents the noodles from sticking to the pan.
