Cooking Noodles at Home

This collection covers wheat, egg, rice and buckwheat noodles: Vietnamese pho, Chinese lo mein and dan dan noodles, Japanese udon and cold soba, quick chili oil and sesame noodles, and a classic chicken noodle soup.

Most noodle dishes come together fast once the sauce is ready, so each recipe lists which noodles to buy, how to cook them without going soft, and step-by-step instructions with per-serving nutrition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I swap one type of noodle for another?

Usually. Wheat, egg and ramen noodles swap freely in stir-fried and sauced dishes. Rice noodles and buckwheat soba cook differently, so follow the package timing.

How do I stop noodles getting mushy?

Cook them a minute short of the package time, rinse in cold water if the recipe allows, and add them to the sauce at the end.

Which are the quickest?

Chili oil noodles and sesame noodles are ready in about 10-15 minutes; pho takes about 90 minutes for the broth.
