Imagine you make a large plate of noodles, and before you know it, you have more than you can handle. We all go through it. Fear not, though, my fellow foodies, for in this post we will embrace the marvels of imagination and take on the pleasant challenge of using up those extra-boiled noodles in the most delectable ways.
There will be no more wasting or throwing away leftovers. We'll look at the greatest and most human-approved ways to use your extra noodles to create delicious new recipes that will have you licking your lips in satisfaction, from tantalising stir-fries to delicious noodle soups.
With a little creativity, you can come up with many other delicious and creative ways to use leftover noodles. Here are some tips for repurposing noodles:
Cook the noodles al dente: This will help the noodles retain their shape and texture when they are repurposed into another dish.
Do not overcook the noodles: Overcooked noodles will become mushy and difficult to work with.
Season the noodles well: This will help to enhance the flavour of the repurposed noodles.
Here's How You Can Use Your Cooked Noodles:
Add A Twist To Your Salad:
You can turn your boring salads into an enticing and wholesome dish by adding those yummy noodles you boiled. Simply mix some of those noodles into your veggie bowl along with the dressings you like. It is advised to shorten the strands of the noodles to make the eating process more convenient and hassle-free. As for fried noodles, you can also incorporate them to add a bit of crunchiness to your healthy bowl of salad.
Add Crunchiness To Your Soup:
It's no surprise that fried noodles and soups are a match made in heaven. This combination works so well that many restaurants use fried noodles to garnish their soups. But here's a catch: not only do the fried noodles go well with the soup, you can also add your regular boiled ones to the mix to make it a proper meal. This dish will turn out so good, especially on a cosy monsoon day, that you'll ask for more.
Coat Your Snacks:
Coating your snacks with noodles is one of the best ways to use them. The noodles enhance the flavour and make the texture extremely crunchy. You can simply say bye-bye to breadcrumbs because your noodles will do the job for you. Chicken, paneer, paneer, and seafood—all of them can be coated using noodles, and it only makes them taste better. These snacks that are coated with noodles are categorised as "threaded" snacks.
Add Those Fried Little Ones To Your Dishes:
The simplest of ways you can use those excess boiled noodles is by simply frying them and adding them to your dishes to add crunchiness and increase the appeal of those dishes. You simply cannot go wrong with this one. Fry them, and once they are all cooled down, add them to your dishes with a little sauce of your choice to make them even better. Add them to bhel puri or any other dish you like.
Stir-Fries:
Another convenient way to use the noodles is to add them to stir-fries. All you have to do is add them along with the veggies to the pan and make sure the flavours infuse well among the veggies and noodles. Add your desired sauce and enjoy a fairly wholesome dish made of boiled noodles.
