Crispy fried rice noodles

Tear the rice noodles in half and separate them so they crisp evenly.

Line a plate with paper towels and have a spatula ready; the frying takes seconds.

Heat the peanut oil until very hot; test with one noodle, which should crisp at once.

Fry in batches, separating the noodles in the oil; flip after a second and remove before they brown.

Drain on the paper towels and salt very lightly.
