How to Make River Rice Noodles

　　River noodles Preparation process

One, soaking Rice. Soaking rice is crucial for making river noodles. The best soaking time is 1-2 hours. Soaking for too long will result in rough noodles with low yield; soaking for too short a time will affect the texture of the noodles.

Two,Steam Cooking the noodles. This process is equally important for the quality of the river noodles produced. The main step in steaming and cooking the noodles is to observe their doneness. Overcooked noodles are not suitable for preservation and lack resilience; undercooked ones are even worse.

Three, cooling the noodles. This process is very important for preserving the noodles. The correct method involves placing the noodles on a sieve and cooling them with wind before packaging.

Rice noodles, also known as Shatang noodles in Singapore (using Hokkien terms), are a common snack in Guangdong province and Southeast Asia, dating back to around 1860 in the area of Shatai.

Handmade river noodles are white in color; recently, some vendors have added vegetable juice or fruit juice to create colorful river noodles.
