Here I’m going to give you some tips to ensure your success with this recipe and maybe life in general.  A little preparation goes along way.  If you could get your noodles soaking in tepid – room temp. water about an hour before hand, you’ll be the king like Elvis.  Otherwise a cheeky soak in luke warm water for 30 minutes will be acceptable.  Drain well to avoid life complications.
