Tips & Substitutions
For the best texture, ensure the noodles are cooked al dente before mixing. You can substitute the white raisins with golden raisins or omit them entirely if you prefer a less sweet dish. If you're out of vegetable oil, melted butter works well for a richer flavor. Adding a handful of chopped nuts can give a nice crunch, similar to recipes like Wiener Casserole.
