Hokkien Noodles
The process of making egg noodles and egg pasta is quite similar. Egg noodles or hokkien noodles are of varying thickness but all the same length. The long, uncut noodles symbolise a long life in Chinese tradition.
Made from eggs, oil, water, flour and salt, they are higher in fat than pasta made from durum wheat flour and water only. Asian egg noodles are also called ramen. Check the packaging when buying noodles and buy those without extra flavouring and preservatives.
