Cooking Wiech's Egg Noodles
Our egg noodles can be cooked in boiling, salted water using the cooking times below. Or, they can be added straight to a stock or broth for same cooking times.
Our recommended cooking times for our noodles are:
As our noodles are handcrafted and are an artisan product, it means that not every noodle we make is the exact same thickness. We try to keep consistency as close as possible, but this is the beauty of a handcrafted product. The best way to test if our noodles are cooked, is to bite into a noodle. If the inside is still white, we recommend cooking for a little longer until that colour has just disappeared. Although for a stir-fry, see cooking instructions below.
| Original Ribbon | 12-15 minutes |
| Original Fine | 5-7 minutes |
| Original Strings | 10-12 minutes |
| Black Pepper Ribbon | 12-15 minutes |
| Chilli Ribbon | 12-15 minutes |
| Spelt Ribbon | 14-16 minutes |
| Spelt Strings | 7-9 minutes |

How do I cook the noodles for a stir-fry to prevent them sticking together?
We recommended slightly undercooking the noodles (al dente) to ensure the noodles hold together nicely in the dish. Once cooked to desired texture, pour off hot water, then rinse under cold water. This will stop the cooking process and ensure the noodles don’t stick together. Stir-fry noodles in with prepared protein, veggies and sauce.
How do I cook the noodles for a salad to prevent them sticking together?
Once cooked to desired texture, pour off hot water, then rinse under cold water. This will stop the cooking process and ensure the noodles don’t stick together. Mix noodles in with prepared protein, veggies and dressing, or toss them in olive oil and refrigerate for later use.
Can I use your noodles in a Crispy Noodle Salad?
As our noodles are a raw product and need to be cooked before consumption, therefore they can not be used on top of a crispy noodle salad straight out of the packet. However, if you would like to make your own fresh crispy noodles, here is that contains no additives or preservatives, it is very simple!
