Sharwoods Fine Egg Noodles
What it is
These are thin, delicate noodles made with eggs, giving them a rich flavor and a tender texture when cooked. They are a staple in many Asian cuisines and are known for their ability to absorb sauces and broths. The fine cut means they cook very quickly, making them a convenient choice for weeknight meals. They come dried and ready to be rehydrated in boiling water.
How people cook with it
Egg noodles are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a wide variety of dishes. They are excellent in soups, stir-fries, and noodle salads.
- Add to brothy soups
- Toss with stir-fried vegetables
- Serve as a base for curries
- Mix into cold noodle salads
To prepare, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the fine egg noodles and stir gently to prevent them from sticking together. Cook for a short time, usually just a few minutes, until they are tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the noodles thoroughly in a colander. They are now ready to be incorporated into your chosen dish, whether it's a hot soup or a cold salad. Avoid overcooking, as they can become mushy.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to thicker egg noodles, these fine noodles cook much faster due to their smaller diameter. Their delicate nature also means they have a softer texture and are less likely to overpower the other ingredients in a dish. They are ideal for lighter broths and sauces.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused portion of the dried noodles in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight container. This will help to keep them fresh and prevent them from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry. Properly stored, they will maintain their quality for an extended period.
