Tips
You can break up the noodles or leave them whole.
Add salt, cinnamon sugar, or other seasonings to the noodles before microwaving.
Use them for chocolate-dipped clusters, toppings for salads and bowls, sweet and salty snack mixes, mock chow mein noodles, Dubai chocolate crunch, or eat them plain.
This microwave method is faster, less messy, and uses less fat than deep frying, resulting in a healthier option.
All shapes and brands of rice noodles will puff up using this method.
