✔Helpful tips
- Storing - Noodle dishes are best served immediately while warm. However, you might be able to batch make and store them in the fridge for a few days depending on the recipe. Generally, stir-fries noodles can be stored 3-4 days in the fridge, while it is best to store noodles and soup separately for the soup ones.
- Make it your own - Feel free to add in any other seasonings, herbs and spices that sounds good to you! You might also need to adjust the proportions of ingredients used or swap ingredients to suit you and your family's taste buds.
