Noodles may be the ultimate comfort food. They are adaptable, versatile, and delicious. Invented in China about 10,000 years ago, noodles enjoy worldwide popularity today.
Noodles come in a wide variety. Each offers its own taste and texture. From udon and soba to rice and egg noodles, there’s something for everyone.
Egg noodles are the noodle of choice in asian food, a delicious steamed noodle dish with garlic sauce.
Hand-Rolled Egg Noodles
What are egg noodles?
Egg noodles are long, thin noodles. As their name suggests, egg noodles contain eggs—a lot of eggs compared to other types of noodles. They are made with wheat flour, eggs, water, and salt
Egg noodles are similar to Italian pasta, but not the same. Italian pasta is made with semolina, a coarse durum wheat flour. In contrast, egg noodles use finer milled wheat flour. You combine wheat flour, eggs, water, and salt to make egg noodles.
Because egg noodles contain eggs, they have more protein than other noodles.
One cup of cooked egg noodles has about 221 calories, 3.3 grams of fat, 40.3 grams of carbohydrates, 1.9 grams of fiber, and 7.3 grams of protein.
Egg noodles have a low glycemic index score of 40, meaning they’re less likely to cause blood sugar levels to spike than foods with higher scores.

Perfecting the Boiling Time for Egg Noodles
Hey there, fellow food lovers! Today, we’re diving into the art of cooking egg noodles, and trust me, mastering the boiling time will elevate your culinary game to new heights. If you’ve ever found yourself struggling with sticky, mushy noodles, then this guide is for you. Grab your pot, a pinch of patience, and let’s make some magic happen!
Getting Started: Boil with Purpose
First things first, let’s talk about water. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil. This is crucial for achieving that perfect noodle texture. Think of it as the warm-up before the main event. The heat needs to be high enough to ensure your DESLY egg noodles cook evenly and don’t stick together like old friends at a reunion!
The Perfect Cooking Time
Once your water is bubbling like a hot spring in the mountains, it’s time to introduce the star of the show—your DESLY egg noodles! Gently add them to the pot, stirring immediately to keep them from sticking.
Now, here’s where your personal taste comes into play:
- For Al Dente Bliss: Aim for a cooking time of **5-7 minutes**. The noodles should have a slight bite, perfect for tossing in a stir-fry or serving with a rich sauce.
- For Soft and Cozy: If you prefer your noodles a bit softer, let them boil for 8-10 minutes. Think of a warm hug on a chilly day—comfort food at its finest!
Pro Tip: Always taste-test a noodle a minute or two before the end of your target cooking time. You want to find that sweet spot that satisfies your unique palate.
The Perfect Finish: Drain and Rinse
Once your noodles have reached their desired doneness, it’s time to drain them in a colander. But wait, don’t rush! Rinse those noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process. This simple step is key to avoiding a mushy disaster, especially if you’re not serving them right away.
A happy family enjoying a noodle feast around the dinner table.
