1. Beef and Broccoli Noodles
One of the most comforting Asian dishes for a winter day is beef and broccoli noodles.
The tender rib eye, fresh broccoli, and egg noodles are dripping with a rich umami sauce.
For an extra layer of depth, marinate the beef while you’re getting everything set.
It’s filling, and all the flavors hit the spot!
2. Pad Thai
If you’ve ever had subpar pad Thai, you know how important an authentic recipe can be. And this one is legit!
Let’s start with the sauce. It’s a four-ingredient concoction of tamarind puree, brown sugar, fish sauce, and oyster sauce.
For the stir-fry, you have the classics including bean sprouts, fluffy eggs, chopped peanuts, and pad Thai noodles.
Of course, we can’t forget the final fixings! Lime and chili are a must.
As for the protein, you have your choice of tofu, chicken, or both.

Chicken breast packs the dish with protein and there are plenty of veggies to go along.
The best part, though, is the buckwheat soba noodles. They’re thick like spaghetti and a little chewy in texture.
As for the sauce, all the ingredients can be found in a typical grocery store.
So you won’t have to worry about hunting down any special ingredients.

4. Lo Mein
Sure, you could go through the hassle of calling in an order, fighting traffic, and finding a spot to park.
Or, you could go directly home after work and make some of the best lo mein you’ve ever had.
And it will take less than 30 minutes!
Go the homemade route and kick back with a hot plate of egg noodles and veggies in a spicy ginger sauce.
5. Dan Dan Noodles
If you’ve never had Dan Dan noodles before, I implore you to make this right now!
This authentic Sichuan recipe does the dish justice.
You’ll coat Dan Dan noodles in an umami sauce of soy sauce and Chinese sesame paste.
Then comes the incredible ground pork topping, chili oil, and peanuts. You’ll also want a leafy green to toss in.
It’s everything you could ask for in a spicy, savory noodle bowl.
6. Easy Jajangmyeon – Korean Black Bean Noodles
Jajangmyeon is a popular Korean dish that’s often saved for special occasions.
A pork belly black bean paste with zucchini and cabbage tossed in. That’s then piled on top of a bed of fresh thick wheat noodles.
Right before serving, place a handful of cucumbers on top.
7. 20-Minute Chicken Ramen Stir-Fry
Looking for a way to doctor up instant ramen? Here’s one for the books.
Each serving is full of juicy chicken, broccoli, green onions, and tender ramen noodles.
And let’s not forget the tangy and sweet soy-based sauce.
The only thing that’s missing is a splash of chili oil (and some of these tasty ramen toppings).
8. Beef Stir-Fry with Flat Rice Noodles
Flat rice noodles have an incredible texture that’s chewy, tender, and succulent.
Pair them with marinated sirloin steak, beans sprouts, and onions for a super savory stir-fry.
This dish only takes 15 minutes, and it’s completely beginner-friendly.
9. Kung Pao Noodles
I’m sure you’ve had your share of kung pao noodles before. But have you had them like this?
This recipe lets the noodles and sauce do all the talking.
It’s savory, spicy, sweet, and umami. So it’s the perfect balance of flavors and you get them all in a big bowl of noodles.
10. Quick Asian Beef Ramen Noodles
Here’s an easy noodle recipe that transforms your instant ramen.
Rather than pre-made sodium bombs, you’ll make a sensational four-ingredient umami sauce.
Combine that with minced beef, instant noodles, and a handful of bean sprouts, then dig in!
11. Asian Garlic Noodles
Craving Asian noodles, but do you only have spaghetti on hand? Perfect!
Turn your spaghetti into a garlicky Asian-inspired shrimp noodle delight with this recipe.
The trick is to dial in the sauce. So, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, and a few other ingredients until it tastes just right.
Coat the spaghetti with it, then toss in some veggies like mushrooms and bell pepper. Oh, and don’t forget the shrimp!
12. Char Kway Teow
The best noodle dishes tend to also be popular street food menu items. Char Kway Teow is one of those items.
In between the flavors and textures, this noodle bowl has everything you could want and then some.
You’ll love the fresh, wide rice noodles, juicy shrimp, Chinese sausage, fried fish cakes, and savory sauce.
I guarantee you haven’t had anything quite like this!
13. Chicken Chow Mein with Best Chow Mein Sauce
Chicken chow mein is a popular noodle dish you’ll find on every Chinese restaurant menu.
But what you won’t find is this sensational chow mein sauce!
It’s a wonderful combination of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, broth, and a pinch of sugar.
Cornstarch is also crucial for thickening.
Aside from the terrific sauce, this chow mein is full of colorful veggies. So it’s healthier than takeout, too!
14. KL Hokkien Mee
Head to Southeast Asia, and you’ll be greeted by this phenomenal noodle bowl.
From sweet to salty, the sauce hits all the right notes and it smothers thick egg noodles.
A dish like this can only mean one thing, you need the right balance of surf and turf.
Cram in the pork belly and shrimp, then dive in!
15. Pad See Ew (Thai Stir-Fried Noodles)
I get these undeniable cravings for wide rice noodles that can only be satiated when I eat pad see ew.
This classic Thai dish is full of those chewy, delectable wide noodles. And the sauce nails it!
While I could eat just that, I love the addition of scrambled eggs and broccoli.
Toss in chicken for more protein, or swap it for tofu to make it vegetarian.
16. Mie Goreng (Indonesian noodles)
If you like sweet and sour noodles, you’ll love mie goreng.
The secret to the sauce is sweet soy sauce. It has a syrupy consistency that coats the noodles with yummy goodness.
But that’s not the only yummy thing this noodle bowl has going for it.
It has fluffy egg ribbons, two types of egg noodles, chicken breast, and prawns!
17. Filipino Pancit
Nutrient and protein-rich, Filipino pancit is a vibrant dish that is super quick.
The vermicelli noodles cook in minutes. Meanwhile, you can saute your pork and toss in the veggies.
You want the cabbage, carrots, and green onions to be tender yet crisp.
18. Thai Peanut Chicken Noodles
Thai peanut sauce fans won’t want to miss this recipe.
The homemade peanut sauce is creamy, sweet, tangy, and of course, umami.
Slather that on yakisoba noodles with some fresh veggies and chunks of chicken.
The whole thing comes together in less than 30 minutes, making it a good one for busy weeknights.
19. Japchae
There are a ton of slurp-worthy Asian noodles, but here’s one to showcase glass noodles.
Japchae is a traditional Korean dish and one of those glass noodle recipes you’ll crave again and again.
