Properly stored cooked glass noodles retain their delightful chewy texture and absorb flavors beautifully. These translucent noodles, often made from mung bean starch or sweet potato starch, are a versatile ingredient for stir-fries, soups, and salads.
Storage Time
3–4 days in the refrigerator
Temperature
Store cooked glass noodles in the refrigerator at or below 4°C (40°F).
Freezing
Yes, cooked glass noodles can be frozen to extend their shelf life. Allow them to cool completely, then portion them into airtight containers or freezer bags, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. When ready to use, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or gently reheat them in a pan with a little water or broth to revive their texture. Freezing may slightly alter their texture, making them a bit softer.
Signs of Spoilage
- Unpleasant sour or fermented odor.
- Slimy or sticky texture that wasn't present when freshly cooked.
- Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy spots of various colors.
