Store dried rice noodles in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place, like a pantry or cupboard. Properly stored, they can last for several months to a year. Once cooked, store leftover rice noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days for optimal quality. Cooked noodles don't freeze well as they become mushy upon thawing.
