Which Asian Noodles Are Best for Which Dish?

Konjac & Shirataki noodles: If you're looking
for a low-carbohydrate or calorie-conscious option, noodles made
from konjac root are a popular choice. They're extremely light,
absorb sauces well and are perfect for fresh wok dishes.

Udon noodles: These thick Japanese wheat
noodles have a satisfyingly soft and chewy texture. They're ideal
for soaking up savoury sauces or serving in rich broths.

Rice noodles: An essential all-rounder in
Asian cuisine. Wider varieties provide the perfect base for
stir-fried classics such as Pad Thai, while thinner varieties are
ideal for traditional soups.

Glass noodles: These noodles are mainly made
from sweet potato or mung bean starch. After brief cooking, they
become transparent and pleasantly soft and springy, making them
particularly suitable for salads and spring roll fillings.

Ramen noodles: Who doesn't know these iconic
Japanese noodles? Their characteristic yellowish colour and
pleasantly springy bite make them perfect for steaming bowls of
ramen broth, where they retain their texture and pair beautifully
with the rich flavours of the soup.

Asian-Style “Al Dente” – Getting the Perfect Noodle Texture
Unlike Italian pasta, many Asian noodles aren't cooked for a long time in rapidly boiling water. Instead, they're often briefly blanched or simply soaked in hot water. Rice noodles and glass noodles in particular can quickly lose their bite if they're left in the pot for too long.
Our tip for the perfect texture: Soak the noodles in lukewarm to hot water, drain them and add them directly to the simmering soup or hot wok sauce for the final 1–2 minutes. This allows them to absorb the flavours without becoming too soft.
How to Store Asian Noodles & Keep Them Fresh
Proper storage helps your noodles stay in good condition and retain their quality for longer. Dried noodles such as rice noodles, glass noodles and sweet potato noodles can generally be stored for a long time without refrigeration. Once opened, it's best to transfer them to an airtight container to protect them from moisture. Pre-cooked noodles such as certain udon or shirataki varieties should always be stored according to the instructions on the packaging and consumed within the recommended period after opening. This way, you'll always have the perfect base for spontaneous cooking sessions ready to go.
Asia Foodstore's Practical Noodle Cooking Tips
Tip 1: How to prevent rice noodles from
sticking
Rice noodles can stick together after draining. Rinse them with
plenty of cold water immediately after cooking to stop the cooking
process and remove excess surface starch. A small splash of
vegetable oil or sesame oil
can then help keep the noodles separated.
Tip 2: The best way to prepare Shirataki Konjac
noodles
First drain the noodles and rinse them thoroughly under cold
running water. Then blanch them in boiling water for 1–2 minutes or
briefly dry-fry them in a pan without oil. Afterwards, you can add
them directly to your sauce or soup.

FAQ – Asian Noodles
Are sweet potato glass noodles gluten-free?
If they're made exclusively from sweet potato starch and water,
they're naturally gluten-free. However, always check the
ingredients and allergen information on the individual product
packaging, especially if you need to avoid gluten.
Can cooked Asian noodles be frozen or
reheated?
Many prepared noodle dishes with udon or wheat noodles can be
reheated the following day in a frying pan or microwave. Glass
noodles and rice noodles often become softer when reheated. If
you're planning meal prep, it's therefore a good idea to prepare
the noodles separately and combine them with the reheated sauce or
broth shortly before serving.
Are rice noodles as nutritious as rice?
Rice noodles are usually made primarily from rice flour and provide
carbohydrates as part of a balanced meal. Their exact nutritional
values vary depending on the product and recipe. Compared with
wholegrain rice, many conventional rice noodles contain less fibre.
Check the nutritional information on the individual product for
exact values.
