Noodles should be well cooked, but not mushy for this recipe. In order to ensure that. Do not cook the noodles for the entire time indicated on the package.

Set water to a rolling boil with a tsp of oil and add in some salt. Drop the noodles and check after 2 min. If the noodles don't have a hard center, transfer them to a colander and wash with running cold tap water. This will stop the noodles from cooking further.
