they're pretty nice raw when you mix them into a nice salad, slaw, or just good topping for making wraps instead of lettuce. i dont much prefer them cooked though since they turn into a gallon of water. about the only hot thing i will put them in is a bowl of pho when you get them on the side with the basil, lime, peppers, and stuff.

Just like tofu, they're great in stir fry dishes. They absorb the flavor and it tastes good that way.

I tried those for the first time recently and they tasted exactly like pea pods. Was a surprise but certainly a welcome one, pea pods are delicious.

They're healthy and an extremely cheap way to pad out a meal to make it bigger. Shit's only 9c/pound.

I only encounter them in fried rice. I especially like their crunch. Their taste is nice as well.

I always buy them for ramen, but just end up eating them by the fistful out of the fridge when I'm drunk.
