What can you use beans & peas for?
Noodles can be used as a base in both Thai, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese dishes.

- use instant noodles for quick meals with vegetables, eggs, tofu, meat, or chili oil
Mini-guide: how to typically prepare noodles
- Boil or soak noodles according to package instructions; thin rice noodles often only need soaking, while wheat, ramen, and udon noodles typically boil for a few minutes.
- Briefly rinse rice noodles in cold water after cooking if they are to be used in salad or stir-fry, so they don't stick together.
- For stir-fry: cook the noodles slightly less than done, then toss them with sauce, vegetables, and protein in the pan.
- For soup: place the cooked noodles in the bowl, pour hot broth over them, and top with herbs, chili, egg, tofu, meat, or spring onions.
Tip: Preparation can vary by brand, size, and product type, so always follow package instructions when cooking
