Instructions

Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook according to package directions until just tender with a slight chew, typically 4–6 minutes. Before draining, ladle out at least 1/2 cup of the starchy cooking water and set it aside. Drain the noodles in a colander.

While the noodles cook, heat the garlic-infused oil and butter together in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and beginning to foam.
