I'm in Ontario, Canada and you can get them at Metro, independent, and I think Whole foods Market. you just rinse them in cold water to get the package water off and the smell and you can heat them by putting them in boiling water for 1 or 2 minutes or you can put them in a pan for a few minutes. I prefer the pan method and adding sauce for a few minutes to help the noodles soak up the sauce and favour . I seriously LOVE these!! they are 3.99 at Metro but I think it's worth it I usually have half a pack at a time so two meals for 3.99 isn't too bad. they have a Mr. noodle feel lol
