I discovered this technique in a Chinese cookbook, and it's pure genius.
I use a lot of non-wheat pasta, like brown rice, black bean, buckwheat, and rice noodles. If you've tried making these before, you know you have to watch them constantly, or they will fall apart, get mushy, and then stick together like glue.
Not anymore!
Put your noodles in a pot, and cover them with hot water. Set them on the counter to soak while you make the sauce, fix the salad, etc.
A few minutes before serving time, bring the pot to a boil for about two minutes. That's it. Drain pasta and serve. If you make extra noodles, store them separate from the sauce, in the fridge. They won't clump, and you don't need to add any oil to keep them separated.
I am never going back to the old way of cooking pasta again.
