Noodles

The term ‘noodles’ (a type of pasta made from flour, water and sometimes egg) can be used to describe hundreds of different varieties used around the world. Noodles are important to Asian cuisine, especially to China and Japan, and long egg noodles are eaten with stews in Eastern Europe. In Asia, noodles can be served at main meals along with other dishes or eaten as a snack, especially served in soupy broths. Short noodles can be cooked in soup or the pasta can be filled to make won tons, which was most likely the original form taken by noodles.
