Frequently Asked Questions

Broccoli and green beans are also some great additions to consider.
If you have any leftovers, you can transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate them. They should stay fresh for 3 to 4 days, and you can reheat them in the microwave or in a pan on low heat with a little sprinkle of water.
Tips & Tricks to Make the Asian Style Whole Wheat Noodles
Ready to try out this easy recipe? Here are some few tips and tricks you might want to take note of as well.
- If you don’t have wholewheat noodles, you can replicate the same recipe with any other kind of noodles that you have at hand. Soba noodles, udon noodles and regular hakka noodles are all great choices.
- If you’re using any other kind of noodles, make sure you cook them according to the instructions on the package.
- Remember to cook the noodles only until they are al dente. Overcooking them will cause them to become soggy and lumpy after you’ve added in the veggies and the sauces.
- Make sure you use a nonstick pan for this recipe. It will help keep the veggies and the garlic from sticking to the pan.
- If you want the noodles to have a bit more saucy texture, you can add a bit of cornflour slurry into the mix as well and let it simmer for a couple extra minutes.
- Want to try a vegetarian version of this recipe? You can swap the chicken in the recipe for some tofu or cottage cheese instead, and use vegetarian broth instead of the chicken broth.
- You can also add a dash of your favorite sauce to add some extra flavor to this noodle dish. Teriyaki sauce and oyster sauce are both good choices.
Serving Ideas & Suggestions
These Asian style whole wheat noodles can be enjoyed on their own. They are packed with protein, fiber and have a good balance of carbs as well, and make for a great complete meal.
If you really want to go the extra mile, you can serve them with some chili sauce or any other hot sauce of your choice
You can also serve them with an appetizer or a bowl of soup to make it a complete Asian affair. I would personally recommend teaming them up with a nice lemon and coriander soup or some spicy stir fried dumplings.
