Storing and Freezing Instructions

To Store: Spicy peanut butter noodles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days. Keep in mind that the noodles will absorb the sauce. When reheating the noodles, add a bit of water, soy sauce, or broth to get the sauciness back. 

To Freeze: The peanut butter sauce can be frozen separately for up to three months. It’s best to make the noodles fresh, as frozen noodles tend to lose their texture over time, especially when mixed with sauce.
