Questions about Chinese chow mein noodles
Do you boil Chinese chow mein noodles before eating them?
Crispy Chinese chow mein noodles are usually ready to eat, so don’t boil them: they’ll turn soft. Add them straight from the packet as a crunchy topping, or follow the packet directions if you have a dried, uncooked type.
How do you keep Chinese chow mein noodles crunchy?
Add them to a stir-fry or soup just before serving; simmering them in liquid makes them soggy. For a salad, toss them through at the last moment rather than leaving them dressed.
How should you store Chinese chow mein noodles after opening the packet?
Seal the packet tightly or transfer the noodles to an airtight container, then keep them somewhere cool and dry. Use them while they still smell fresh and feel crisp; discard them if they develop an off smell or taste.
What do Chinese chow mein noodles go well with?
Their crisp texture works well over chicken chow mein, stir-fried vegetables, soups and crunchy salads. Add them at the table so they contrast with the softer ingredients.
Can you use Chinese chow mein noodles instead of crunchy noodles?
Yes, they can usually take the place of crunchy noodles as a topping for salads or soups. Check the texture and preparation on the packet: dried noodles that need cooking won’t give the same ready-to-eat crunch.
Do Chinese chow mein noodles contain wheat?
Most are made from wheat flour, so they are not suitable for someone avoiding wheat or gluten. Check the ingredient list, as recipes can differ, and some noodles may also contain egg or soy.
