I seem to recall reading somewhere that you should store leftover cooked rice noodles in water.  Is this right?  I don't want them to bloat and become ruined.

I also seem to recall reading somewhere you could revive stuck pasta by running it in (cold?) water.  

How should I store leftover cooked rice noodles to best preserve them for a day or two?

UPDATE: I tried storing them in cold water, and that's definitely not the way to go; the rice noodles bloated to about double their original thickness.  They taste fine, just not what I was looking to accomplish.


Question: "Hirable" or "hireable"
Answer: Apparently the rule for attaching suffixes is as follows:


  If suffix begins with a vowel (a,e,i,o,u,y)
  Root will attach directly to it
  If suffix begins with a consonant
  Root will need a combining vowel before attaching to the suffix


As in Example word: cardiogram
Breakdown of word: cardi/o/gram
Root = cardi
Combining vowel = o
Suffix = gram
Note: Suffix begins with a consonant
Combining vowel is needed  

While Example word: cardialgia
Breakdown of word: cardi/algia
Root = cardi
Suffix = algia
Note: Suffix begins with a vowel
Combining vowel is not needed  

However, there are words that do not follow this rule: i.e. "Friend-ship", "Govern-ment"

So I would redefine the rule a bit, as it isn't actually mine's.

If suffix begins with  a vowel , and the root word ends with  a vowel or consonant, the suffix attaches directly.

If however, the suffix begins with a consonant, and the root word ends with a vowel, it will need a combining vowel. If however, the root word ends with  a consonant, the suffix will attach with no combining vowel.

Which means your example would be written "hireable"
