Note:

  • If you attempt to boil the noodles to the proper texture,it is likely that you may overcook,as rice noodles can go from perfection to mushy in a minute.So drain the boiled noodles under cool water to remove the extra starch and keeps the noodles from being gummy.
  • If the raw mango is not sour enough you can even add a little bit of lemon juice to get the tangy taste.
