Your ultimate guide to noodles

Noodles are the ultimate quick-fix, great-value meal solution – far beyond the student days of peeling back a lid and adding hot water.

With oodles of noodles to choose from in our Foodhall, where do you begin? See our guide to the best types of noodles, and how to cook with them.

Rice noodles

Popular in Thai dishes and made using traditional methods, our rice noodles have a soft, silky texture perfect for soaking up bold sauces. Toss with crunchy veg, protein and our nuoc cham dipping sauce for a speedy weeknight meal.

Vermicelli

Add our Rice Vermicelli Noodles to a comforting lunchtime broth. These superfine, rice‑only strands offer a delicate bite that perfectly balances the heat of Singapore noodles or spicy recipes.

Egg noodles

Available fresh or dried, and in medium or fine varieties, egg noodles have a smooth, springy texture that suits quick‑cook stir-fries packed with vibrant veg and your choice of protein.

Udon

Made with wheat flour and known for their broad appearance, udon noodles' natural flavour pairs well with sweet and spicy Asian-inspired sauces, particularly Japanese. Our Udon noodles are also part of our Eat Well range, so they're a healthy choice that can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.

Quick‑fix noodle dishes are a godsend when you want to whip up balanced, flavour-packed midweek meals – from on‑trend ramen bowls to warming soups, speedy stir fries or fresh noodle salads. Get cooking with some of our favourites from our noodle recipe collection for you to try.
