How should I cook La Choy Chow Mein Noodles to achieve the perfect texture? To achieve the perfect texture, bring a pot of water to a boil and add the noodles.

La Choy, the American Chinese food brand, has become a staple of many supermarket chains, but it is worth noting that La Choy's cofounder, Ilhan New, was actually Korean.
