This soy noodle soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water or broth to loosen the noodles. Note that the noodles may absorb some of the broth during storage, so you may want to add more liquid when reheating.
