Asian noodles have always been popular among
all ethnic foods. They are generally served stir-fried,
pan-fried with vegetables and a gravy, deep-fried, in soups, and
braised in hot pots. In addition, noodles are regarded as a
health-food and a starch similar to rice and potatoes. With the
simplified preparation of our pre-cooked noodles, whereby
preparation is simply to blanche the noodles in hot water
for about 1 minute, our pre-cooked noodles will always yield a
high quality and consistent finished product.
Our noodles for retail consumption
are packaged fresh and map packaging (modified atmospheric
packaging) to maintain freshness, retard spoilage, and
increase the shelf life of the products. Proper product
storage is a refrigerated environment is mandatory to maintain
the product shelf life. On the other hand, our noodles for both the
foodservice and industrial sectors are packaged in bulk (either 5
lbs. x 6 packages or 30 lbs./case ) and are stored frozen with a
shelf life of 8 months minimum. Reconstitution is simply
thawing out the noodles first before blanching it with hot water.
