Happy National Noodle Day! Try one of these 23 delicious noodle recipes today!

Foodie October 6, 2015

Noodles come in many varieties and National Noodle Day, which is observed each year on October 6, celebrates them all.

Noodles are made by some type of unleavened dough being rolled out and cut into a variety of shapes.  Long thin strips are likely the most popular, however some of the other shapes such as; tubes, strings, shells, flat, wide and etc., have their fans also.   Boiling,  pan-frying or deep-frying them are the common ways of preparing the noodles.  They then can be eaten alone, with butter or with a sauce or used in soups, casseroles, salads, lasagna, and etc.

It is a question as to where the noodle was first invented but it is known that it has been a staple in many parts of the world for over 1800 years.

To celebrate National Noodle Day, try one of these delicious noodle recipes:

Happy Noodle Day! :)

Noodle Fish Cakes

Noodle Fish Cakeshe most challenging aspect of these Thai-inspired fishcakes is getting the noodles out of the packet and into the bowl! Mung bean vermicelli, also known as glass noodles, are almost impossible to break. I use scissors, but they still ping all over the place. The rest of the ingredients only have to be blitzed together to make these tasty morsels. Via theguardian.com

Cold Peanut Sesame Noodles with Chicken

Cold Peanut Sesame Noodles with ChickenWhat makes this noodle dish sing isn’t its simplicity or savory, toasted flavors (although those are definite high points) — it’s the versatility. Via thekitchn.com

Mongolian Beef Noodle Bowls

Mongolian Beef Noodle BowlsMongolian Beef Noodle Bowls taste just like take out, swapping rice for chewy rice noodles! Via iowagirleats.com

Vegetarian Indo-Chinese Hakka Noodles

Vegetarian Indo-Chinese Hakka NoodlesThe key to this dish, as when making any stir-fry, is to have everything prepped and ready to go. A lot of the prep can be done in advance, so the noodles come together fast for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. You can make extras of these noodles because leftovers are perfect cold or warmed up for lunch boxes the next day as well. Via thekitchn.com

Easy Tahini and Soba Noodle Salad

Easy Tahini and Soba Noodle SaladThis soba salad is relatively simple, a mixture of cooked noodles, steamed edamame (which is optional, but nice for added protein), and raw carrots, cabbage, and red pepper slices. Nothing fancy, but the dressing is delicious, and the addition of fresh basil and cilantro make it particularly flavorful. It’s ready in about 30 minutes, which is exactly what you need for a quick dinner. Via choosingraw.com

Vegetarian Pho (Vietnamese Noodle Soup)

Vegetarian Pho (Vietnamese Noodle Soup)Between the broth, noodles, and assorted garnishes — like onions, herbs, chiles, and lime — phở (pronounced “fuh” not “foe”) is a wonderful interplay of textures and flavors. Traditionally, the soup is made with beef or chicken bones. Vegetarian versions, called phở chay, may be found at Buddhist establishments or restaurants catering to contemporary, Western clientele. Via thekitchn.com

Homemade Chicken and Noodles

Homemade Chicken and NoodlesThis is a comfort food from childhood. It’s beautiful, simple homemade Chicken and Noodles—a thick, hearty dish not to be confused with a thinner, brothier chicken noodle soup. It’s so perfectly yummy and soul-pleasing. Via thepioneerwoman.com

How To Make DIY Instant Noodle Cups

How To Make DIY Instant Noodle CupsThe idea with noodle cups, or pot noodles as the Brits call these, is to pack all your favorite noodle soup components into a jar or other heatproof vessel, but nix the broth. When you’re ready to eat, pour hot water over the top, let things warm up for a few minutes, and lunch is served. Via thekitchn.com

Miso and Soba Noodle Soup with Roasted Sriracha Tofu and Shiitake Mushrooms

Miso and Soba Noodle Soup with Roasted Sriracha Tofu and Shiitake MushroomsMiso soup is the pinnacle of wholesome meals. Fermented miso paste is full of good bacteria, brothy soups keep you sated longer, and, if you add whole grains, protein, and vegetables, it becomes a meal. This miso soba soup is wonderful, but I can imagine all kinds of variations and additions, too: roasted sweet potato, kabocha squash, or cauliflower in the fall; fava beans, asparagus, peas or pea shoots in the spring; roasted summer squash or Japanese eggplant in the summer; edamame, hijiki or wakame anytime. You can top a bowl with bonito flakes, smoked trout or steamed salmon, or you can nestle a poached egg into each bowl. Via bojongourmet.com

Yotam Ottolenghi’s Legume (Noodle) Soup

Yotam Ottolenghi's Legume (Noodle) SoupThis soup is directly inspired by a Persian soup called ash-e reshteh (the Iranian answer to minestrone). It calls for reshteh noodles, which can be found at Iranian grocery stores, but it’s fine to substitute linguine. Via thekitchn.com

Garlic Scallion Noodles

Garlic Scallion NoodlesThis has nothing but noodles, garlic and sugar. Those green things? Garnish just to add color and some sort of nutritional value. These noodles are addictive. Via steamykitchen.com

Homemade Egg Noodles

Homemade Egg NoodlesHomemade egg pasta is not hard to do, if you have the right equipment and just a little know how. Via spinachtiger.com

Garlic and Greens Shirataki Noodle Recipe

Garlic and Greens Shirataki Noodle RecipeMiracle Noodle Shirataki noodles are a fantastic calorie free, gluten free, very low carb, vegan, soy free addition to your menu. Shirataki noodles have been popular in Japan and China for many years but Miracle Noodle brand Shirataki noodles are made right here in the good old USA. Via sweetsavant.com

Vietnamese Chicken Rice Noodle Salad

Vietnamese Chicken Rice Noodle SaladThere are a few things that make this such a great salad: 1-it can be served warm (warm noodles and chicken) or cold (perfect for lunches!) 2-it is gluten free because the noodles one uses for this recipe are rice noodles (vermicelli noodles) 3-you can really customize it to whatever vegetables you have on hand, if you don’t have pickled vegetables that is ok too, you can just use sliced up veggies and 4-this salad can be made in under 30 minutes! Via sweetphi.com

Lemony Chicken Noodle Soup

Stir-Fried Shirataki Noodles

Stir-Fried Shirataki NoodlesA simple Google search of “how to get rid of the smell in shirataki” led me to lots of awesome tips that taught me exactly how to prep them so they come out tasting like real, honest-to-goodness noodles, without the calories. Via greenlunchdiaries.com

One-Pan Singapore Noodles [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

One-Pan Singapore Noodles [Vegan, Gluten-Free]Made from rice vermicelli (thin rice noodles), curry powder, bean sprouts, bok choy, spring onion, carrots, red pepper, snow peas, and a ton of other nutritious and easy-to-get ingredients, this Singapore Noodles creation is a surefire noodle winner. Via onegreenplanet.org

Ultra low calorie, veg packed Thai noodle soup

Creamy Chicken Noodles

Creamy Chicken NoodlesA big plate of warm noodles topped with creamy sauce is a classic comfort food. There’s the nostalgia of family dinners past coupled with the naughty, feel-good effect that accompanies a mouthful of starchy carbs. Via realhealthyrecipes.com

Vegetarian Miso Ramen with Rice Noodles, Roasted Sweet Potatoes + Sesame Broccolini

Vegetarian Miso Ramen with Rice Noodles, Roasted Sweet Potatoes + Sesame BroccoliniA ramen / pho hybrid, this vegetarian and gluten-free soup recipe starts with a gingery miso broth packed with brown rice pasta, smoky tofu, sesame broccolini, roasted sweet potato, and a softly set egg. Via bojongourmet.com

Thai Peanut Chicken and Ramen Noodle Soup

Thai Peanut Chicken and Ramen Noodle SoupI am not sure how cheap this meal actually is with all the chicken, coconut milk and Thai curry paste, but it’s a pretty dang good, and healthy too! Well, minus the Ramen noodle part, but I am told that if you don’t use the seasoning packet, which is full of sodium and MSG, and boil the noodles, that they are not THAT bad. Via halfbakedharvest.com

20-Minute Spicy Sriracha Ramen Noodle Soup

20-Minute Spicy Sriracha Ramen Noodle SoupAn incredibly easy and delicious spicy ramen noodle soup spiked with sriracha hot sauce and ready in just 20 minutes! Get ready to fall in love with this one! Via bakerbynature.com
