FAQs
How do I make crispy fried noodle extra crispy?
For that perfect crunch, cook your noodles al dente—firm but not overdone. Rinse them in cold water to stop the cooking, then let them dry completely. Toss them lightly in cornflour for an extra crispy finish and fry in small batches in hot oil (375 F or 190 C). Pro tip: Drying is key to avoiding soggy noodles.
Can I make crispy fried noodles without deep frying?
Totally! You can bake them by tossing the noodles in a bit of oil and spreading them evenly on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 F (200 C) until golden and crispy, flipping occasionally. Alternatively, try air frying for a healthier twist that still delivers crunch.
Can I store crispy fried noodles for later?
Yes, they're perfect for meal prep! Once fried, let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container. They'll stay crispy for up to a week. Just keep them in a cool, dry place, and add them to soups or stir-fries at the last minute for that fresh crunch.
