Roll
1/4 inch strips. Continue to cut to the end of the rectangle. Undo the strips and shape the folded bends neatly. Dust with more tapioca starch if needed. I like to cook the noodles as soon as they are cut, so have a large wok or pot of water readily boiling. Salt has to added to the water, amount depends on the amount of water. I used 2 tsp salt for 2 liters water. Put in the cut noodles into the boiling salted water, try to add loosely stranded noodles instead of a huge cluster this is to prevent the noodles clumping together. DO NOT STIR the noodles, wait until it starts to float, then stir so that they cook more evenly. If you STIR the noodles before they are cooked, they will break and you would have to use a spoon to eat rather than chopsticks. To check if the noodle is cooked through, test a strand of noodle by breaking and if there is no more white center, then they are cooked through.
