Store dry noodles in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. For fresh noodles, refrigerate them in their original packaging or an airtight container and use them within a few days. Cooked noodles should be stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container and consumed within 3-5 days. If freezing, ensure they are cooled completely, portioned, and stored in freezer-safe bags or containers for up to 2 months.
