Rice noodle soup is a simple, quick, and easy meal, customizable with any variety of toppings you like. CookSee’s Korean-style instant rice noodles make it even easier to put together a delicious meal in an instant.
CookSee Rice Noodle Soup, distributed by South Korea-based company Han’s Korea, features instant noodles that are made with soft and chewy Korean rice, and are air-dried, instead of oil-fried like instant ramen. As a result, they’re lower in calories and significantly lower in fat, and are also more easily digestible. As a bonus, they won’t turn rancid as oil-fried ramen noodles will, and thus have an even longer shelf life.
The convenient packages of noodles and soup base come in four flavors: Anchovy, Spicy Seafood, Hot and Spicy (a mix of anchovy and beef broth), and Kimchi. 
Here are three easy recipes to make with CookSee Rice Noodle Soup.
