Cup of noodles.
The directions say to stand for 3 minutes or so, but that's to get firmer noodles. Do you let it stand longer for softer noodles? Or do you like it firm as is?

I prefer mine firmer.

I guess I like mine softer?
But really, I don't time mine for 3 minutes..sometimes I leave it for 10 or so
or sometimes I even forget all about it pinch.gif

I almost never let things stand for the time that it says to on the packaging. XD.gif

I suppose I like them firm.

Honestly, I don`t eat cup of noodles
anymore because of the amount of sodium.
It`s seriously way too high. pinch.gif

Yeah.Even the "low-sodium" ones are still to high.

I sort of buy my cup of noodles at school at verrrrry last minute so I can eat them during class. whistling.gif So end I up just eating mine like a minute after they pour in the hot stuff. But at home I use my microwave, not the whole pour-in-boiling-water method so I eat mine's right away. Just like, blow it cool down aaaaaaaaand it comes a wonderfully unhealthy cup of salt. :D

Not too hard, not too soft. I usually let it sit for a minute-ish.

I prefer them to be softer.
So usually I let them stand for 5 minutes or so... not so precisely.
trulyandnever
I like them soft... firm is too.. firm. Yeah.
danifibble

laxumaster8

I like them firmer. You can't have soggy noodles. >_>
But sometimes, like Robbi, I'm just too impatient and don't really care. Or I'm really hungry. laugh.gif

Eww, the soft noodles are nasty. Because they start to absorb all of the water and become soggy. I prefer the firm noodles.

Lol I never let it stand. I eat that shit right away, even if I have to blow on it a million times.


Lol same here.

Only for about a minute. It depends on how hungry I am.

But sometimes I forget it and leave it for 10-15 mins.
Jeng
I'll let it stand fo a a few minutes, unless I'm wicked hungry then I'll just eat itafter like a minute.
