Enjoy your delicious cooked rice noodles for longer by storing them properly. These versatile noodles are a staple in many Asian dishes and can be kept fresh for several days when refrigerated correctly, ensuring you can savor their delightful texture in your favorite stir-fries and soups.

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 1 month in the freezer for best quality.

Temperature

Store refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F).

Freezing

To freeze cooked rice noodles, rinse them under cold water and drain thoroughly to prevent sticking. Portion them into airtight containers or freezer bags, removing as much air as possible. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or gently reheat in a pan with a little water or broth. While freezing is possible, cooked rice noodles may lose some of their original chewy texture upon thawing.

Signs of Spoilage

• Unpleasant sour or fermented smell.
• Slimy or sticky texture.
• Visible mold growth (any color).
