Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook according to package directions until just tender with a slight chew, about 4–6 minutes. Drain in a colander, rinse briefly under cold water to stop cooking, and toss with 1 tsp of the garlic-infused oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
