Noodles! They offer a balm for every wound, a light at the end of every tunnel. Whether sauced, fried, floating in soup, mixed with vegetables and proteins or delightfully minimalist, they’re never unwelcome. They can rise to any occasion, from the light brothy soup you want after you’ve inhaled 37 chicken wings during the Superbowl to the intense panfried affair with sauce and garnishes that you want after you’ve inhaled 37 chicken wings during the Superbowl. The point is you are not gonna be sorry about it if you make some noodles. Here, allow us to convince you.

If you have come here looking specifically for either ramen or soba noodles, boy have we got you covered.

    • i love this recipe so much! whenever i come across it i remember how great it is and am mad at myself for not making it more. let me know if you try it!

  1. I would like to register a formal complaint with the universe that I am not currently eating all of these noodles.

  2. Mock duck? You have my attention. Now I just need to find a place that carries it, cause I haven’t seen it at TJs or WholeFoods.

    • my exact conundrum! i ate it at a restaurant recently and it was amazing? but i’ve never. ever. seen it. i absolutely must find mock duck. #thesearchcontinues

    • I did a quick google and it seems to only come in a can? I am thinking if your area is a Chinatown and/or Asian town they may carry it? I plan to check since I work near little Tokyo, & Chinatown, and go grocery shopping in Korea town weekly.

    • I love mock duck! You can find it in Asian grocery stores. It’s definitely in a can. I’ve actually made that exact recipe from the post punk kitchen and it’s delicious!

  3. I made the Shanghai Fried Noodles from Woks of Life last week – really simple and tasty. That blog is yet to lead me astray.

  4. LOL! I love noodle dishes! This is an awesome round up. Thanks for including my Easy Thai Peanut Chicken Noodle StirFry!

  5. YUMMMMM I just want all the noodles now but I can’t have any noodles because my roommate blocked my car in the driveway so I can’t get to the store :(

  6. I’ve been in such a noodle-mood. And this article doesn’t help, haha. Excellent recipes, the tamarind noodles looks soooo goooood.
