Preparation, uses, and tips
Add noodles a few at a time to boiling water. To prevent noodles from sticking to the
bottom of the pan, stir gently until the water returns to a rapid boil. Cook for five to six
minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Add to miso soup or to stir-fried dishes.
Buying and storing tips
Look for bifun noodles in the ethnic or pasta section of natural food, grocery, or
specialty or Asian markets. Store them, unopened, in a cool, dry cupboard for six to eight
months.
Varieties
Bifun noodles are available in the traditional form (described above), and may contain some
flavors, such as mushroom or chili.
