Noodles

Noodles are one of the most widely consumed foods in the world, forming the backbone of countless cuisines from Asian to European. They are most commonly made from wheat flour, eggs, and water, and come in dozens of varieties differing in shape, length, and composition. In everyday cooking, noodles serve as a side dish for sauces, an essential ingredient in soups, or baked with eggs for a simple meal. In Asian recipes, they form the base of noodle soups, stir-fries, and cold salads. Their mild, neutral flavour makes them perfect for absorbing the taste of sauces and broths. They are best cooked al dente, firm to the bite.
