Id love to have you in my kitchen! Coughs*

Mehh Im just playin around.. Looks nice.. But I doubt I can buy those noodles at the grocery store near my house.. Do I need to go in a like.. Oriental food store or something?

[IOBeauty]

yes, I buy mine from the 99 Ranch market which is a chinese market.

I had a question...I wanted to make this but I was wondering when I saw you put the noodles in the pot to boil it looked like they were wet already...do you need to pre soak them or anything like that? I want to get it just right!!

[IOBeauty]

When you buy them they are prepackaged with liquid and you will have to drain that first before cooking your noodles. Basically they are already cooked, but cooking them will get rid of its fishy smell/taste

lol try new things

[zuniga6412]

Rinse the noodles really good and don't cook them in boiling water for over a minute or they will be like chewing rubber. It will ruin them.
