Some day....<BR/><BR/>For today though, I'm off to make the Cran-Apple muffins you posted a while back. No dud there, I'm sure. :)Alyshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06914870543398140819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1161217693777528512006-10-18T20:28:00.001-04:002006-10-18T20:28:00.001-04:00Miriam - I did stir them, but the recipe only call...Miriam - I did stir them, but the recipe only calls to boil them for a minute.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900263145684208002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1161217681004433172006-10-18T20:28:00.000-04:002006-10-18T20:28:00.000-04:00p.s. sorry, i meant "joe"!(there's a subliminal ef...p.s. sorry, i meant "joe"!<BR/><BR/>(there's a subliminal effect going on here...)moorlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819910131512490360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1161217605149363572006-10-18T20:26:00.000-04:002006-10-18T20:26:00.000-04:00hi jeff, don't despair! by coincidence i made cell...hi jeff, don't despair! by coincidence i made cellophane noodles tonight ("mung bean vermicelli" on pkg.) it's a pesky little thing to cook, because it can easily become lumpy or stringy and tough. that's why they're left boiling forever in the hotpot, while people chug beer or get lost in an impromptu karaoke contest:-D anyway i've been soaking them for ~20 min before boiling in miso-veggie soup. The Lump (aka McQueen Jr.) can be alleviated by cutting up into manageable bites with a scissor beforehand, after it's softened enough. i also do the same cutting up with rice noodles/sticks.<BR/><BR/>addicted reader,<BR/>edamamemoorlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819910131512490360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1161216964051384412006-10-18T20:16:00.000-04:002006-10-18T20:16:00.000-04:00Did you try stirring the noodles when you boiled t...Did you try stirring the noodles when you boiled them? Also, I'd advise spooning a few tablespoons of dressing on them immediately after you boil them to loosen them up; progressively add more dressing and *then* mix in the salad?<BR/><BR/>It's worth a shot.<BR/><BR/>-- MiriamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
