In an ideal world, we'd have noodles for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They're just great for when you're after something super-speedy and delicious.
You can do everything from fry an egg and throw in some chilli oil for something Asian-inspired, or soak them in stock for a smashing noodle soup, the options are endless!
If you're a soup kind of person, they're ideal for adding some much-needed texture and carb action. We've got recipes for a warming Chicken Broth With Noodles, a creamy vegan Coconut Noodle Soup with Mushroom & Edamame and a super-flexible Everything Is Optional Noodle Soup.
For fans of spice, there's Dan Dan Noodles, Sriracha Prawns with Noodles and Spicy Broccoli Stem Peanut Noodles.
Looking for a noodle side dish or salad? Don't worry, we've got those too. Give this crunchy Noodle Salad a go, or this flavourful Sesame Noodle recipe that goes great with chicken.
If chewy, thick udon noodles are your jam, try our Vegan Udon Noodle Bowl with Tofu (it makes a great working-from-home lunch as well).
There's just so much you can do with noodles, whether it's recreating your favourite takeaway dishes, making an easy, healthy lunch or a speedy midweek meal. There's a reason they're a store cupboard staple for so many people!
