Unlike most ramen noodles which are produced from wheat, our noodles are made from 100% buckwheat, which is rich in minerals such as magnesium.They have a delicate texture and a delicious flavor suitable for many dishes. King Soba products are gluten-free & wheat-free, Kosher and ideal for Vegetarians, Vegans and Celiacs. Accept no substitute! INGREDIENTS: Organic 100% Buckwheat flour. TO PREPARE: STOVE METHOD Boil water in a pan and add one noodle cake per person. Separate the noodles gently with a fork and reduce the heat to medium to prevent overcooking. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until they begin to soften, gently stirring occasionally. Do not overcook. Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse well with cold running water to stop the cooking process. You can re-heat by adding them to your main ingredients or pouring hot water over them. MICROWAVE METHOD Use a microwavable bowl with lid or a microwave ramen noodle bowl. Add one ramen cake, fill water to the water line, or add 2 cups of water and cover. Ideas: Crush a 1/2 or 1 bouillon cube and add to your water. Try chicken, beef or vegetable broth instead of water. Cook for 3 minutes on high power. Remove from microwave and carefully open the lid. Using a fork, flip the ramen cake over. Cover and cook on high power for 2 minutes. Using oven mitts, remove from the microwave and let it sit for 3 until cooked through. Let them sit for up to 5 minutes for a softer noodle. Stir well with a fork to separate the noodles. Keep the liquid or drain and add to your ingredients.
