Method

  1. Step 1

    Soak the rice noodles in hot tap water for 10 minutes, or according to the package. They should be pliable but still firm - they finish in the pan.

  2. Step 2

    Melt the butter in a wide pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook 60 seconds, until fragrant but not colored.

  3. Step 3

    Add the drained noodles and toss for 2 minutes so every strand picks up butter.

  4. Step 4

    Fold in the crab meat and cook just until heated through, about 2 minutes. Crab is already cooked; you are warming it, not cooking it.

  5. Step 5

    Kill the heat. Squeeze the lemon over everything, salt to taste, and finish with parsley if you have it.
