# Do I need to defrost the noodle bowl before preparing it?

No, your noodles can be heated directly from frozen using the directions below:

Microwave: Remove from carton and peel up a corner of the plastic film to let steam escape. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, stir and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165F.

Stovetop: Heat on the stove in a saucepan with a tablespoon of water until heated through or until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
