What can you use fresh noodles for?

Noodles can be used as a base in both Thai, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese dishes.

• use rice noodles for pad thai, pho, and Vietnamese noodle salads
• use ramen, udon, and wheat noodles for Japanese soups and stir-fries
• use instant noodles for quick meals with vegetables, eggs, tofu, meat, or chili oil

Mini-guide: how to typically prepare noodles

• Boil or soak noodles according to package instructions; thin rice noodles often only need soaking, while wheat, ramen, and udon noodles typically boil for a few minutes.
• Rinse rice noodles briefly in cold water after preparation if they are to be used in salads or stir-fries, so they don't stick together.
• For stir-fry: cook the noodles slightly less than fully done, then toss them with sauce, vegetables, and protein in the pan.
• For soup: place the cooked noodles in the bowl, pour hot broth over them, and top with herbs, chili, egg, tofu, meat, or spring onions.

Tip: Preparation can vary by brand, size, and product type, so always follow the package instructions when cooking with the products
