Everywhere I've read about cooking puffed rice noodles says that the soaked noodles need to be fried. I need a less messy alternative to frying. Is there a way I could bake them to get the same or similar consistency?

Why is frying too messy? Grease spatters?– Shog9Aug 24, 2010 at 19:18

grease spatters, cleaning the oil off the pan... I mean it's not a big deal, I'm just wondering if anyone has had success with an alternative method– user2154Aug 24, 2010 at 22:58

To stop spatters, you can use a splatter screen (google.com/products?hl=en&q=splatter+screen). It is a fine mesh that stops oil splatter while letting moisture escape.– Adam ShiemkeAug 25, 2010 at 15:30

no... deep frying is necessary because you need the water inside the noodles to flash to steam, which creates the puff. baking is a slow and indirect heat and therefore will not work.
