These are yet more kinds of noodle that you boil for a few
minutes, then drain and serve by themselves or with
stir-fried vegetables. Vegetable noodles have a green tinge
and a slight vegetable-y taste, and carrot noodles are
orangish and taste faintly carrotish. Then there are
shrimp noodles and egg noodles, and I bet you can guess
what those taste like. And then there are rice noodles,
which are made with rice instead of wheat, and are transparent
instead of white. I find them all quite pleasing.
The way I like to cook these is to break the bundles
so the noodles won't be too long, boil them according
with the instructions on the package, drain them, mix them with stir-fried
stuff (the kind I put in yakiudon),
and serve hot with a dash of soy sauce or yakisoba sauce. As with other
noodles, these can become clumpy in your lunch box
unless you mix in a little vegetable oil to coat the
noodles.
