no it doesnt it has no resemblance to noodles - text and shape are wrongIt makes excellent 'noodles' for a stir fry the next day
which prevents the original pasta sauce from coating the pasta properly.with some olive oil in the water, not much
I've just finished some work at a food manufacturer where we made cook chill pasta and noodles and rice that we later added to salads. You can add the oil to cooled pasta, it still works and you don't waste it. For the rice, cook it just less than you want, then cool it in cold running water. Rinse the starch off until it runs clear, then it won't stick.We always make too much. It makes excellent 'noodles' for a stir fry the next day. Store in container in fridge till next day. (works better if one cooks spaghetti with some olive oil in the water, not much)
Note: like cooked rice, cooked spaghetti works best the next day if intending to stir fry.
a common mistake folks make with making their own fried rice is to boil the rice, then try and fry it after an hour when cooled - this doesn't work, and the rice will bind together. (I don't know the physics, but guessing something to do with starch?)
This must be one of the most intractable First World problems I've ever encountered, and I speak as a devoted pasta fan. How will it all end?
I would have replied "yes, and we all have different sized bellies too".FWIW this issue came up in a recent conversation and the advice given by a very knowledgable cook. She uses the thumb and forefinger method, to which of course us smug males said "Ah but we all have different finger and thumb sizes" quick as a flash she said "get a pound coin and make your finger and thumb fit around it". Simples.
Yes, I'm staggered by the amount of spaghetti some people here eat.125g of pasta per person is a lot! Certainly too much for me - and I'm a fat bastard!
I use an old, tall, plastic container (I think it was the bottom-half of a "slush" thing my daughter once bought), stick it on the scales, zero, then add 75g of spaghetti per person.
