      When something hydrophobic (i.e. unable to absorb water) punctures the surface of a bubble, it subsides. A dry wooden spoon destabilizes the bubbles when they come into contact with its water-repelling surface. This makes the boiling water retreat.

His recipe is quite similar to my family recipe, except we also add in julienned cucumbers, homemade Sichuan chili oil (for more kick than 老干妈), and cilantro! Definitely important to cook the noodles slightly undercooked so it retains the chewy QQ texture!

When our shifts changed he started doing more of the shopping and I put PB on the list. He came home with the BIGGEST jar of Skippy I had ever seen outside the Costco 2x pack. He said that was the next step after I solo'd that whole giant jar in about a month

    A couple of advices for boiling pasta: put salt only AFTER it's boiling, as salt water takes longer to reach boiling temperature; it's not a biggie if the water boils "too much", as long as there's enough water for the pasta to boil in and you stir it regurarly, because the only thing that could happen is evaporation. Also, putting things on top of the pot might repel nearby bubbles but won't change the temperature of the water.
