For Noodles Frying:-

Method:-

noodles very well with fresh water.let noodles cool at room temperature.Before
frying add 2.5 tablespoons corn flour (corn starch) on the noodles.Mix very well so
that the corn flour (corn starch) coats the noodles well.Heat oil for deep frying in a
kadai or a pan.Add a few strands of the noodles and if they come up steadily and
gradually then you can begin to fry them. if they settle down at the bottom, the oil
needs to get hot. if they come up too quickly then the oil is very hot, so the flame
need to be reduced.Add noodles in batches,fry till the base become light golden
and crisp,then turn over and fry the second side till crisp and light golden.Once
cooled, then place the crispy fried noodles in an air-tight container or pot.
