Wheat Noodles and Egg Noodles

These are made from hard or soft wheat flour and water. If egg has been added the noodles are usually labelled as egg noodles. Many supermarkets and delicatessens also stock both the dried and fresh variety. Flat noodles are usually used in soups and round noodles are best for stir-frying or pan-frying. The fresh ones freeze nicely if they are well wrapped. Thaw them thoroughly before cooking.

Noodles are very good cooked and served with main dishes instead of plain rice. I think dried wheat or fresh egg noodles are best for this.
