Using wet-milling process to grind pre-soaked rice and cool down the rice noodles with cold water after blanching, then dry in the sun is the original way to make rice noodles from a hundred years ago in Taiwan. However, due to the high cost and extensive production process, the craftsmanship of that almost fails to pass down. The authentic and pure taste of rice noodles once makes gourmet eaters drool, Yung Shen now has brought them back and invites you to reminisce the classic taste with us.

Tip

  • Soak Tick Rice Noodles for 10 to 20 minutes to soften and loosen them before cooking.
Dried Tick Rice Noodles stick together because of the blanching process. Soaking them allows for your rice noodles to heat evenly in the cooking process. Using hot water to soak them could shorten the soaking time.
  • ​Cook them for 5 to 8 minutes.
Be careful not to overcook the rice noodles as they can break apart easily and can become mushy.
