Substitutions & Additions

Tips for Success

• If you have leftover noodles, toss them with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.
• Feel free to prep the ginger and garlic ahead of time to save on cooking time!

How to Store Green Ginger Rice Noodles

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, just reheat in a pan over low heat, adding a splash of water or soy sauce to bring them back to life!
