- Once the noodles soften, gently loosen them with chopsticks and cook until tender, following the package time.
- Drain the noodles well and place them in a serving bowl.

Tips by age
Skip the seasoning packet entirely and use a small portion of mild, low-sodium curry. Cut the noodles into short pieces and serve with a little extra cooking water to keep them soft.
Choking safety: Long noodles can be a choking risk. Cut them into short, manageable lengths and serve soft.
Use mild curry and leave out the seasoning packet to keep sodium low. Snip the noodles shorter and let the bowl cool to warm before serving.
Choking safety: Cut long noodles into shorter pieces so they are easy to chew and swallow.
Serve a smaller bowl of mild curry over noodles. Add only a tiny amount of seasoning if needed, and check the curry is not too spicy for your child.
Choking safety: Encourage small bites and cut long noodles if your child tends to slurp large mouthfuls.
Serve as written. You can add a little of the seasoning packet for flavor, keeping the curry mild rather than spicy.
