To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Serving suggestions & tips

  • Sprinkle with chopped toasted peanuts for a crunchy topping.
  • Garnish with basil, cilantro, or bean sprouts to brighten.
  • Add spice with a spoonful of sambal oelek or your favorite hot sauce.

Recipe notes

  • You can make the sauce ahead of time making sure not to add the noodle until needed. Once the sauce is ready, portion it into the Anyday Freezer Trays and reheat when needed.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
