Noodle Cutter

Several years ago in Hong Kong, we saw a Japanese family with a toddler having dinner. Mom and Grandma were using a gizmo to cut up a little bowl of (long, of course) noodles. It was plastic and worked like scissors, but had teeth that laced together like a hair clamp - although since they were a couple of tables away, I can't swear to this latter. I don't think I was so jet-lagged I was hallucinating, but I've never been able to find any of the things, and I've wanted to buy them several times for baby gifts. Any tips? (Can I find any in Japantown in SF?)

Rice Noodle Help.

Tomorrow for dinner, I'm working with rice noodles for the first time ever. They are intimidating the hell out of me. The back of the package says that I can either fry them straight out of the bag or boil them. I want to put them into a broth of some kind with all kinds of yummy veggies and shredded chicken, will that even work? My friend told me that rice noodles are rice ... I thought they were noodles. Does anyone have any tips for a first time rice noodle user? I don't want to chicken out of my dinner idea, but I have no idea what I'm doing.
