Tips

To cook rice noodles, soak them in boiling hot water for 10 to 15 minutes or as the instruction on the package specify.
Drain the water and again dip into cold water in order to arrest any further cooking. Drain and use as required.
Do not use coriander leaves for making red curry paste as it will affect the colour of the paste.
