Tips & Secrets
- Using finely ground roasted rice flour is mandatory for achieving the traditional professional-grade non-sticky texture.
- Ensuring the water is at a rolling boil is the absolute secret to achieving a professional-grade elastic dough.
- The addition of a little ghee provide the essential professional-grade shine and softness to the noodles.
- Always press the dough while it is still warm; cold dough will professional-grade harden and become difficult to press.
