Frequently Asked Questions About Dry Chinese egg noodles
How do you cook dry Chinese egg noodles?
Boil dry Chinese egg noodles according to the package directions, since thickness affects cooking time. Drain them when just tender, then add them to soup or toss them briefly with vegetables and sauce for a stir-fry.
Can you use dry Chinese egg noodles for lo mein?
Yes, dry Chinese egg noodles work well in lo mein. Cook them until just tender, drain thoroughly, and toss them with the stir-fried vegetables, protein, and sauce so they do not overcook in the pan.
What are dry Chinese egg noodles made of?
Dry Chinese egg noodles are generally made from wheat flour, egg, water, and sometimes salt, then dried for storage. They are a processed food because they are mixed, shaped, and dried rather than sold as an unaltered grain.
Do you need to soak dry Chinese egg noodles before cooking?
No, most dry Chinese egg noodles are cooked directly in boiling water rather than soaked first. Follow the package directions, as very thin varieties may need less time than thicker noodles.
How do you keep dry Chinese egg noodles from turning mushy?
Cook dry Chinese egg noodles only until just tender and drain them promptly. If you are adding them to soup, cook them separately and combine them with the broth shortly before serving; they continue softening if left in hot liquid.
Are dry Chinese egg noodles the same as ramen noodles?
No, dry Chinese egg noodles and ramen noodles are not identical. Both can be made with wheat, but ramen noodles often have a distinct springy texture from their ingredients and preparation, while Chinese egg noodles get richness and color from egg.
Can you use dry Chinese egg noodles in chow mein?
Yes, dry Chinese egg noodles are suitable for chow mein. Boil them until slightly firm, drain well, and stir-fry them over high heat with the other ingredients; noodles that are too soft can break or clump.
Should you rinse dry Chinese egg noodles after boiling?
Rinsing is useful when dry Chinese egg noodles are going into a stir-fry because it cools them and washes away excess surface starch. For soup, you can skip rinsing and add the drained noodles directly to the bowl or broth.
Can you freeze cooked dry Chinese egg noodles?
Yes, cooked dry Chinese egg noodles can be frozen, though they may soften slightly when thawed. Cool them promptly, portion them into airtight freezer containers, and reheat them from frozen in soup or a hot pan.
Can dry Chinese egg noodles replace spaghetti in a recipe?
Yes, dry Chinese egg noodles can replace spaghetti in many sauced dishes, but their egg-rich flavor and texture will change the result. They are especially suitable for quick stir-fries and brothy dishes rather than recipes that depend on a firm Italian-style bite.

What is Dry Chinese egg noodles?
Dry Chinese egg noodles are wheat noodles made with egg, then dried for storage. They are usually cooked in boiling water before being added to a dish; as they hydrate, they become heavier and softer, so judge portions by their dry weight.
Their mild, slightly eggy flavour and pleasantly chewy texture work well in Chinese-style soups and stir-fries, often with vegetables, meat or tofu and a savoury sauce. They are also an easy pantry option for quick noodle meals in kitchens around the world. The noodles are mainly a source of carbohydrate, with egg contributing some protein. For a lighter, more balanced bowl, use plenty of vegetables and go easy on the oil and rich sauces.
