Haven't had any in a long time, years, and I was going to buy some this week but since I don't have a microwave, i was going to cook it in a wok. No where on any of the microwave packages did i find stovetop directions. So I didn't buy any, have to wait until next shopping trip. But it turns out you can cook it in a skittle, pan, wok. Just add a little oil.
