What it is

The noodles are typically found in a convenient, ready-to-use format, simplifying meal preparation for busy cooks. Their texture is generally soft and slightly chewy when properly cooked.

To prepare, simply heat the noodles according to package directions, which usually involves a brief period of steaming or sautéing. They can be added directly to a hot pan with your favorite stir-fry ingredients, including vegetables, proteins, and sauces.
