great looking recipe! very great looking!

i'm new to thai food, asian food generally, so let me ask you this; what do you mean with "soak the noodles in water"? you mean hot water, boiling water, or room temperature? kinda like soaking gelatins in cold water first? or is it a cooking method?

i know, it's a pretty generic question, but a little help would be nice!

other than that, i think it's a doable recipe for me.

[Appon] Room temperature is fine.

vincent:

Wow.. So, soak the noodles and fry them! I'm not sure I'm gonna do that well. But I'll give a try. Thanks for the help and your recipes look fabulous by the way..

vincent:

So, I know I'm asking questions a bit too much, but this soaking method, is it just for rice noodle or a legitimate technique for the regular egg noodles as well?

[Appon] It's for dried noodles, all typs, just to soften them up!
