Funchose is practically devoid of any taste, but absorbs them well. Therefore, the dish acquires the taste and aroma of other ingredients: mushrooms, vegetables, meat, seafood. Noodles are called glass due to the transparency that they acquire during the cooking process. Noodles are almost invisible in the broth, but soup with funchose will be thicker and richer than usual.
