What are Egg Noodles?

What are Egg Noodles?

Egg noodles are a type of noodle made primarily from wheat flour and eggs, giving them a rich flavour and slightly chewy texture. Unlike pasta, which often uses semolina flour and fewer eggs, egg noodles typically have a softer bite and a more delicate consistency. Commonly used in a variety of Asian cuisines, they come in different shapes and thicknesses, from thin strands to broad ribbons. They’re especially popular in Chinese recipes like chow mein and Japanese recipes like ramen, where their ability to absorb sauces and broths makes them a versatile and tasty choice.

How to Cook the Best Egg Noodles

How to Cook the Best Egg Noodles

Cooking egg noodles is so simple, making it a perfect ingredient for an easy recipe after a busy day. Follow the steps below to cook yours:

  1. Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Once boiling, add the noodles and stir gently to prevent them from sticking together.
  3. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions, typically for 3-5 minutes, depending on their thickness. For a slightly firmer texture, you can cook them for a minute less than suggested.
  4. Once done, drain the noodles and immediately rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch.

Take your egg noodles to the next level: Toss your cooked noodles in sesame oil, garlic and chopped onions for added flavour. For an easy sauce, we love mixing gochujang, ketjap manis and soy sauce too!
