Goi Cuon (Vietnamese Summer Rolls)

Step 5 Cook the Noodles

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and then drop in your "rice stick" (thin, straight rice noodles.) These cook in only a few minutes, so stick around and tend them. Don't wait for the noodles to become totally soft. While they're still al dente, take the pot off the stove and pour the noodles through a strainer.

Rinse the noodles with cool tap water, since they shouldn't be served hot.
