how do you make them soft.

If these are what I'm thinking of, they are not meant to be soft and will turn to mush. Is there any information on the packaging?

i threw away the packages.

Chow Mein. Chinese chow mein noodles tossed in an authentic savory sauce. The noodles are stir-fried with cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, green onions, ginger and garlic for a flavorful vegetarian dish. A recipe ready in less than 30 minutes or less!

From google... just stir them in they are already crunchy

My question is, why do you want them soft? They are meant to be a crunchy topping, but you can stir them into a sauce if you want them soft.

my friend has dentures and he can not eat hard stuff.

Ah, I see. Other than soaking them in warm water, I'm not sure what else to do.

I'm sure you could just leave them out of the dish. That is, don't add them. If they're meant as a topping, they"re not really necessary. It won't make much difference if you don't add them. There seem to be two types of chow mein noodles. The ones that are the sort of noodles we're familiar with in soups, etc. And the crunchy ones used mainly as topping. If a recipe calls for cooking the noodles, it would be the first kind. The second kind would not be the sort that one would cook. As someone else pointed out, trying to cook or soften this type will just turn them to mush.

i have dentures and have no problems with hard stuff. makes me wonder if his aren't fitting well. i know with my lower ones i have problems with them so i don't wear them and still can eat hard items. this is just my intake

I wondered about that... my husband has dentures and he can eat hard items just fine.
