Asian noodles are similar to pasta, some made with egg, some without. The Chinese name for noodle is "mein". Egg noodles have more fat than those made with wheat flour and oil. Both are usually yellow in colour of varying thickness, but all the same length. The long uncut noodles symbolize a long life in Chinese tradition.
Made from oil, water, flour and salt (and sometimes egg). They are also called ramen or hokkien noodles. Check the packaging when buying noodles and buy those without extra flavouring and preservatives.
