| - I purchased two Okinawa Soba (Okinawan Noodle made in Hawaii) on Tuesday, and as soon as I got home (about 15min.) I put them in the freezer. This is how a raw or partially cooked noodles should be stored until ready to cook them. Today, I opened one of the package to cook it and I found some mold starting to grow on the noodles.
Unfortunately, Greenland Market doesn't store them frozen. Just stacked up on a open refrigerator. This is how mold grows. I stopped buying raw or partially cooked noodles (especially the Yakisoba) from 168 Market for this reason, and 168 is even worse. Fortunately enough, Okinawa Soba noodles are pretty thick, so, I was able to pick the ones with the mold on it, and just cut that part off. After boiling them, I examined it and the rest was fine; however, some people may have an allergic reaction if they eat those noodles. I have also checked the other pack in the freezer by opening the outer bag and sure enough, mold. I'm afraid to imagine what the other noodles look like in that stack..... I've also bought some curry yakisoba that was in that stack. I have yet to examine those.
Raw or partially cooked noodles should always be kept frozen while fresh. When using them, just put the frozen noodles in the boiling water
