Noodles, by definition, contain egg or egg yolks in addition to flour.
Noodles come in a variety of shapes and sizes, as well as colors. From plain manilla to the exotic black squid ink, brilliant red beet and elegant green spinach, noodles have their place in almost every variety of cuisine.
Noodles can be sold fresh or dried, and can be made from a variety of flours. Some of the most popular noodles enjoyed include cellophane noodles (made from mung-bean starch), Japanese harusame (made with rice, potato or soybean flour), egg noodles (typically wheat-based), rice flour noodles, soba (made with buckwheat) and ramen (egg and wheat noodles).
Always choose noodles made from whole grains. If you're looking for gluten-free varieties, try buckwheat (soba) or rice noodles.
