If you want the light and crunchy noodles that are crumbled over the top at the restaurant, (AND YOU DO!) fry 1/4 package of thin Chinese rice noodles in about 1- 1 1/2 cup VERY hot oil. Place oil in a high sided pan. Heat oil until it shimmers. Take a small handful of the 1/4 package of thin Chinese rice noodles, they will immediately puff up. With tongs, carefully flip and the remove and let drain on some paper towels. Repeat if you want more.

This happens VERY quick. Be prepared!
