How to Prepare
Because hot pot glass noodles are thick and dense, they require proper hydration to achieve the perfect texture.
Cold Water Soak: For the best results, soak the noodles in cold water for a few hours (or overnight) before cooking. This softens them evenly all the way through.
Boiling: If cooking directly from dry, add them directly to a boiling hot pot broth or soup caldron and let them boil for roughly 10 to 15 minutes until they become fully translucent and soft.
