It’s important to rinse rice vermicelli thoroughly in cold water after cooking to keep them from getting sticky. You can let them sit after rinsing, but rinse them again right before adding them to the pan. Rice noodles are so … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: Sourdough
Sourdough is complicated but with a little practice you will make amazing bread. The instructions below are the stripped down basics. Some steps may need to be adjusted a bit. I learned from a cookbook and my eventual success with … Continue reading
