- Drain the noodles and immediately put in cold water to cool them and stop the cooking.
- Now, take 2 tbsp oil and sprinkle over the drained noodles. Mix them by hand nicely that to coat each noodle strand with oil. It ensures that while the noodles wait in the sieve they will not stick to each other.
