Asian noodles

comfort food

Yum

Chicken pad see ew

Why does everyone LOSE THEIR SHIT about Asian noodles as if they're magic? Noodles are noodles, spaghetti is spaghetti! There are the same three ingredients. Wheat, salt and water. I don't get it?

The sauce, R4, the sauce.

Down, queen at R4. Why are you losing your shit over your perception of others losing their shit?

Eight posts in and not one mention of Lesbians' love of noodles. I'm outraged.

R4 I don't understand why you're here then.

That looks great,R7.

Has anyone used asian noodles to make pasta? Did you drain them?

I love Asian noodles to an unhealthy extent. I could eat them every day.

I could eat all Asian food every day.

I rinse my asian noodles

Veg chow fun

I've tried to eat Asian noodles, but I just can't. I gag every time because they look and taste like slimy worms.

The bitch at R15 has not seen a noodle she hasn't scarfed down.

Tasty ramen

I love chow fun noodles the next day. Re-fried with garlic and onion,

Hudson NY’s celebrity chef Kevin Sessums recommends cheap noddles for event meal.

For anyone who's interested in ramen that's a little step above the normal, maybe try this Black ramen (Nongshim brand). It's not as spicy as it appears on the package. Get the one in the square pack, though. Not the one in the cup.

PHO sure!

Vietnamese Mi xao toi noodles- sweet, salty, umami & of course garlic. I skip carbs most of the time but I make an exception for this dish.

Vietnamese eggroll salad - Lettuce, cold noodles, Vietnamese eggrolls, cucumber, ground peanut, fried shallots, cilantro, mint or Thai basil served with fish sauce. There are are several variations depending on the restaurant.

I like the Thai noodles -- pad kee mao.

Me too, R24. That's spicy noodles for those w/o the Thai name for the dish.

Vienamese noodle dishes are the best!

R26 You need to try a great Thai restaurant.

I do in fact. DanDan noodles are a favorite.

I also love the Italian ones....both are great flavor delivery systems.

Pad Kee Mao. I like my noodles darker than this, but this will do in a pinch.

R4 - Asian noodles are made with RICE, not wheat.

R30 you are full of shit.

Asian noodles are made of rice, wheat, buckwheat and many other things depending on the region and the noodle.

Anyone just love the Maggi 2 minute instant noodles?

If you have ever had fresh made Italian pasta, Asian noodles takes like recycled tires in comparison.

Sorry no, they remind me of worms which is literally one of the things they get served with.

R33 have you ever had Asian noodles freshly made and hand pulled?

They taste amazing as does Fresh pasta.

Fucking Chow Mein!!

FATTY and DELICIOUS

Eat your fucking noodles!!

I like ho fun with beef but I prefer the noodles to be fresh and not dried. I also prefer the noodles to be fried as opposed to "topped" with sauce so they have a drier texture. ...And I like it with gai lan or some kind of tsoi included.

Pad Woon Sen is my favorite!

Cold Sichuan Noodles. I want them for every meal.

You all have me craving noodles for dinner today.

What about cellophane noodles? Any quick, easy recipes?

Noodles used to be a banned word on DL

R31 yes there are varieties and regional variations (asia is a big place with 5000 years old civilizations) but asian noodles are mostly and traditionally made of rice so R30 is essentially correct.

I don't enjoy Asian noodles. I find them too limp and stubby.

R49, you're wrong about noodles being mainly and traditionally made of rice. Yes, rice noodles is one of the more popular variation of noodles but note "one of", meaning there are other variations that are eaten by a whole lot of people. You think rice is the carb of choice for people northern and western China? Even in Japan where is rice is eaten in all regions of the country, rice noodle isn't remotely the the main type of noodles.

If you had narrowed it to, say, Vietnam, you would be right but it's not true for Asia. The variations alone for one country like China, means rice isn't mainly and traditionally the grain used for noodles.

I went out and got Pho after reading this thread, thanks DL

I EAT IT

I've had really good pad Thai and mediocre pad Thai. I like it made with flat noodles in short pieces.

Stir-fried noodle with chicken and seafood stuff -- Kuay Tiew Kua Kai.

I was very proud of myself for making a legit Pad Thai once. Tasted just as good as the restaurants.

We rarely eat any form of noodle

what is the name of the dish at OP?

Yes, most of us love them - not much different from pasta really (some Asian varieties are rice and others are grains, etc.). I can't imagine a world without Italian or Asian food, but let's face it - lots of grilled meat and salad are my primary food groups. These delicacies are really "fun" meals - much like pasta and pizza. Most of us can't have a toned stomach if we eat noodles for every meal.

Asian noodles are boring and mushy usually. No flavor on their own, you have to mask that with other add ins. Full of carbs, not good for you either.

R59 tell Italy. Bread and pasta are staples and I see a lot more lard asses in the US.

Thick and Chewy Noodle, Coated in the Black Bean Sauce. I eat this all the time. Delish!

It’s easy to make. Scramble an egg with the noodles and stir fry with lots of ketchup.

Ketchup??

HOT!! and DRY!

This shit is Noodles!

[quote] Ketchup??

Believe it or not, I watched while a friend of mine from Thailand made pad Thai. She did squirt in a little bit of ketchup. Not a lot, though. Maybe a couple of tablespoons, at most.

I've been to thailand and everything had lime juice, cane sugar and fish sauce. no ketchup anywhere

This is the Pad Thai recipe I made and it came out excellent. In fact, I've made a couple of recipes from this site, and they're all solid. Pailin really explains everything and takes the mystery out of Thai recipes. Just having access to the right ingredients is the toughest part.

R58, according to the url, it's called Lanzhou Beef Noodles.

You had me at the word "Asian".

you had me at noodles

Wheat flour (Dan mian, udon) Rice flour (mi grob, ki mao) Mung bean starch (woon sen, cellophane noodles) Buckwheat flour (soba)

Don't forget sweet potato noodles.

I love to make Pad See Ew.

R76, that looks delicious.

Rich and delicious

[quote]No flavor on their own, you have to mask that with other add ins.

Um, all pastas need sauce and seasoning for flavor. Who's ever eaten plain pasta?

cold sesame noodles

Filipino spaghetti, with hot dogs and banana ketchup.

No thanks

Give it to me all dayyyyyyyy

Spain and America ruined the Philippines

They did. But China will take it all over

Eat. Your. Noodles!

R84, nah, they still have some great noodles.

I live in LA with the largest Asian community in the US. Been to hundreds of places with Asian coworkers over the years. Noodles are just boring. Don't care for squid balls either.

Asian Noodles?

Disgusting

Noodles are not disgusting.

R92, I think R91 was referring to R90's post.
