Should they appear somewhat dry, consider tossing them with a small amount of toasted sesame oil. The taste would be suitable and prevent them from adhering to one another. Other than that, just refrigerate like any other leftover. If the temperature in your fridge is below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, as it should be, they should last for roughly 4 days. Naturally, they will never again be as wonderful as the day you created them. For reheating, my first choice would actually be the microwave. A minute at a time, tossing in between. To help them loosen up, you might need to add a tablespoon of water.

To prevent the noodles from sticking together, toss them with a little oil or butter if you’re not quite ready to serve them. They can be re-heated by briefly submerging them in a pot of warm water if they become cold while you’re preparing your meal.

When kept unopened, noodles can be kept in your pantry or another cool, dry location for up to two years. To keep moisture away from your noodles, store them in a plastic zipper bag or other sealable container if you live in a warm, humid climate. If the noodles stay in the bag, you can also store an opened bag of noodles in your pantry for a few weeks!

Boil 4 to 6 quarts of water for every pound of noodles in a large pot. (Adding salt is optional. Add the noodles gradually, tossing to separate them, and then bring back to a boil. Boil uncovered, stirring occasionally until desired tenderness. Drain. Serve immediately. Cut the boiling time by one to two minutes when using cooked noodles in a recipe that calls for more cooking time, such as casseroles or macaroni and cheese.

Noodle doneness is personal preference, so we’ve provided a range of cooking times that should work for most cooks. Use the shorter cooking time if you like your noodles to have a little more bite. Furthermore, noodles keep cooking for a few more seconds after being taken out of the boiling water, so timing is as personal as you are!

Within two hours, all leftovers need to be placed in a clean storage container and chilled. You may refrigerate leftover noodles for up to 3-5 days. Baked foods, such as casseroles, can be made in advance and frozen until you’re ready to eat them. Make sure you cook your dish according to the recipe’s instructions and that the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
