Tips: It is common for cold noodles to become hard after refrigeration during transportation. This is mainly caused by starch aging and water loss. However, the following methods can be used to restore the soft texture:
Restoration Methods
Soaking in warm water: Soak the cold noodles in warm water at 50-60°C for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir gently, then rinse with cold water to restore their elasticity. Be careful not to exceed 60°C to avoid damaging the structure of the noodles.
Natural Reheating: Place the refrigerated cold noodles in a cool, dark place at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to allow them to soften. This is suitable for unseasoned cold noodles to preserve their original flavor.
Microwave Heating: Spread the cold noodles flat in a microwave-safe container or plastic bag, seal the lid, and heat over medium-high heat for about 90 seconds. The noodles will regain 80% of their elasticity.
Steaming: Place the cold noodles on a plate. Once steaming, place them in a steamer and steam over high heat for about 3 minutes. Remove and let cool. The noodles will regain 90% of their elasticity.
