If you're not a "slurper", simply chop the noodles into serving size so they can easily fit on a spoon. They are delicious and no matter what the recipe, you'll find they absorb the flavor of the sauce you're serving with them - YUM!
Tips
No need to pre-soak the noodles. Add how convenient to cook! Other dried wide noodles need to soak in the water before cooking for 4 ~ 8 hours but 1ST MKFOOD noodles don't need that step! (It is steamed product.)
The soup will keep up to 3 days in the refrigerator, but just like any pasta as it sits the noodles expand. This meal is best enjoyed when it's fresh. I do not recommend freezing this stew.
Chopping the glass noodles in small pieces will make them easier to eat with a spoon.
Variations
Add a variety of vegetables to suit your taste!
An addition of firm tofu would add flavor and protein.
Top your bowl with a drizzle of sesame oil will add nuttiness and flavor and fresh chilies for heat!
Spinach fresh or frozen - if you use frozen, be sure to allow it to defrost first, then squeeze out the excess water. Cauliflower would also be delicious! Bok choy, Napa cabbage, asparagus, mushrooms even sweet onion. The more veggies the better I say!
Leftover chicken? That would be perfect in this dish. As would thinly sliced beef or pork.
Shrimp would be great as well, sauté it first, remove it from the pot and then cook the vegetables. Add it back in after you stir in the noodles. Top with a fried egg - super yummy!
Serving suggestions
This is a light meal, but if you're looking for something more substantial, then here are some suggestions to serve alongside the glass noodle soup.
