If you are suggesting to use soaked-only noodles, you really need to specify which noodles will work for that cooking strategy. The noodles I used did not cook in the soaking water and left my dish a congealed, raw noodle mess.
Hi Chelsea,
I usually use Hakka Noodles. In India, we do not have a lot of variety when it comes to noodle types. It’s 99% Hakka noodles.
