Sharwoods Medium Egg Noodles
What it is
These are medium-width noodles made with eggs, giving them a rich flavor and a tender texture when cooked. They are a common pantry staple for many households. The noodles are dried and packaged for convenience, ready to be incorporated into a variety of dishes. Their shape makes them versatile for holding sauces and other ingredients.
How people cook with it
Egg noodles are a popular choice for adding substance and flavor to many meals. They pair well with both light and hearty sauces.
- Stir-fries
- Noodle soups
- Side dishes
- Casseroles
To prepare these noodles, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dried egg noodles and stir gently to prevent them from sticking together. Cook according to package directions, typically for a few minutes, until they are tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the noodles thoroughly in a colander. You can then toss them with your favorite sauce, add them to a soup, or incorporate them into a stir-fry. Rinsing after draining is generally not recommended as it can remove starches that help sauces adhere.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other pasta shapes, egg noodles have a distinct richness due to the inclusion of eggs in their dough. This also contributes to a softer, more yielding texture than many durum wheat pastas. Their width is also a distinguishing factor, falling between very thin and very wide noodle varieties.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a versatile noodle to use in everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any unused noodles in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Ensure the container is well-sealed to protect the noodles from moisture and pests. This will help maintain their quality and prevent them from becoming stale.
