The fix
Tap a step to check it off.
- 1 rinse briefly with hot water to loosen the starch
- 2 toss with 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 reheat in broth just before serving
If it's still wrong
- pan-fry into a noodle cake
- serve in a stir-fry where clumps are less noticeable
Prevent next time
- stir while boiling and drain promptly
- toss with a little oil if holding
Notes
Why this works
Hot water dissolves surface starch and oil prevents re-sticking, so the noodles stay separate and silky.
