Tip & Tricks : Bihun

I don't like my Bihun to be soggy. Here are my tricks! Read on. I'll make sure I soak my Bihun for at least 30 good minutes. This should be enough to soften them. Set aside. Before I fry them this is what I will usually do. Boil some water. (whole kettle - approximately 1.8 litre) Place Bihun in the strainer. Throw in the water (evenly). I usually avoid soaking my Bihun with the boiling water, chances to end up with a soggy Bihun is high.
