Frequently Asked Questions About Walnut Noodles
What are walnut noodles?
Walnut noodles are a Turkish-style dish of ribbon-shaped erişte, a homemade or dried egg noodle, topped with chopped walnuts. They are commonly served warm, often with butter or another cooking fat coating the noodles.
How do you make walnut noodles?
Cook the noodles until tender, drain them, then toss with chopped walnuts and butter or another cooking fat. Toasting the walnuts briefly in a separate pan adds a roasted flavor; watch them closely so they do not burn.
Do you toast the walnuts for walnut noodles?
You can toast the walnuts for walnut noodles, but it is not essential. A brief toast brings out their aroma and keeps them more noticeable against the noodles; add them near serving time to preserve some texture.
What kind of noodles are used for walnut noodles?
Walnut noodles are traditionally made with erişte, Turkish ribbon-shaped noodles that may be homemade or dried. If you cannot find erişte, broad egg noodles are a practical substitute, though the dish will not have quite the same traditional texture.
What do you serve with walnut noodles?
Serve walnut noodles with a crisp salad, yogurt, or a light vegetable dish. Their rich walnut topping makes them filling, so a fresh, tangy side works especially well; they can also accompany grilled vegetables or meat.
Can you make walnut noodles without butter?
Yes, walnut noodles can be made without butter. Toss the cooked noodles with olive oil or another cooking oil, then add the walnuts; the flavor will be less buttery but the walnuts still provide a rich, nutty topping.
Are walnut noodles served hot or cold?
Walnut noodles are usually served warm, soon after the noodles are cooked and topped. They can also be eaten cold as leftovers, but the noodles firm up and the walnuts lose some of their fresh, crisp texture.
How do you keep walnut noodles from turning mushy?
To keep walnut noodles from turning mushy, cook the erişte just until tender and drain it promptly. Add the walnuts after cooking rather than boiling them with the noodles, and avoid leaving the finished dish covered for a long time.
Can you freeze walnut noodles?
Yes, you can freeze walnut noodles, although the noodles may soften and the walnuts may lose their crunch after thawing. For a better texture, freeze the cooked noodles separately and add freshly toasted walnuts when serving.
Can walnut noodles be made with homemade erişte?
Yes, homemade erişte is a traditional choice for walnut noodles. Its thickness and drying time can vary, so cook it until just tender rather than relying only on a fixed time, then toss it with the walnut topping.

What is Walnut Noodles?
Walnut Noodles combines erişte, the ribbon-like dried noodles common in Turkish home cooking, with chopped walnuts. Erişte is often made from flour and eggs, cut into strips and dried; once cooked, it is tossed with walnuts and sometimes butter. The noodles are tender with a slight bite, while the walnuts bring a rich, earthy flavour and a pleasant crunch.
In Turkey, it is served warm as a satisfying main or side, often alongside yoghurt or ayran. It is largely a carbohydrate-based dish, with walnuts adding fats, some fibre and a little protein, so it makes an energy-dense meal. For a lighter version, use butter sparingly and let the walnuts provide most of the richness.
