The week of comfort food continues! This time in the form of Easy Asian Noodles.
You can thank my (very, very rare) self control for this recipe.
Last weekend, Trevor and I went downtown to check out the tailgating scene in Madison.
We had a blast.
The weather was perfect, the atmosphere was buzzing (literally 😉 ), and we had so much fun walking around checking out the different bar/restaurant scenes.
We got home later in the afternoon, made a batch of puppy chow – I had a serious craving – and sat down to relax and watch our latest obsession, Project Runway.
Soon enough we were hungry for dinner and I had z.e.r.o. motivation to make dinner. Trevor offered to order some Chinese food, but I resisted ( 😱 say whaaaat?!) and said that I’d just whip something up.
I needed something fast, something easy, something Asian inspired, and something noodle-y.
Oh, and something with minimal ingredients, because I yet again avoided going to the grocery store.
Welcome to the world, Easy Asian Noodles.
This recipe is quick and easy, because there are only three parts:
- The sauce
- The noodles
- The eggs
How do I make an easy asian noodle recipe sauce?
Whisk together:
- soy sauce
- rice vinegar
- sesame oil
- sriracha
- brown sugar
- ginger
- red pepper flakes
- garlic
It’s a little sweet, a little salty, a little spicy, and a just a little, um, perfect.
The second part, the noodles.
What types of noodles should I use for easy Asian noodles?
This is Show Me the Yummy: Easy Recipes for Yummy Food. Not Show Me the Yummy: Authentic Recipes for Yummy Food. 😉
So. Today.
We’re using whole wheat linguine.
I love the texture, the nutritional value, and the fact that I can always find whole wheat linguine at the store. 🙂
That being said, feel free to use YOUR favorite noodles.
That sauce + whole wheat noodles and I thought I was in heaven, but then I wanted a little more protein, so I thought, let’s top it with an egg. I mean, why not, right?
That’s the third part to today’s easy asian noodles recipes.
Oh. Man.
Do not skip the egg. It was a last minute addition to these Easy Asian Noodles, but it’s the best part. It’s warm, it’s ooey-gooey-yolky…it’s just yum.
That’s it! Sauce, noodles, eggs and you’re on your way.
And I have to say, it really satisfied my Chinese delivery craving, but these noodles are
- A heckofalot cheaper
- A heckofalot more delicious
Trevor and I both went back for seconds… and I made it again the next night.
I love these Easy Asian Noodles because they’re quick and easy, but also because I always, always, always have these ingredients on hand.
If you like cooking with Asian flavors at all, you probably have soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in your kitchen. . .
and I’m guessing most of you have a box of pasta and eggs hiding in there somewhere.

Whoa did you just admit to making this delicious recipe back to back in the same week? If a blogger does that we know it’s a winner!
Ha!!! It’s SO true. That’s the only downfall of being a blogger…there’s rarely a time I go back and re-make a recipe once it’s tested! 😉
Easy is my middle name during busy weekdays! And that sauce on the noodles sounds delicious and packed with asian flavor.
Mine too, Nicole! 😉 Thank you!!
Wow! Looks so delicious and comforting Jennifer! What I wouldn’t do for a big bowl of this right now! Awesome photos!
Thanks Mary Ann! 🙂
WOW! This noodles look so delicious and gorgeous..very flavorful recipe!
Thank you, Kushi! 🙂
I made this last night and it was delicious! With a picky eating family, I added sautéed chicken and scrambled the egg, but both my husband and my toddler went back for seconds. This might just be my new miracle dinner. Thanks!
Hi Michelle! Oh I’m so glad the whole family loved this 🙂 Chicken and scrambled egg sounds great for this!
Made this yesterday. Extremely easy and flavorful. Would make a great dipping sauce as well!
Yay!! Thank you so much Pidalid! 🙂
I used the Annie Chun’s udon noodles, which can be cooked in a microwave in 2 minutes with the sauce and it was a recipe made in less than 10 minutes! Delicious!
Oh I bet this was amazing with udon noodles – I’ll have to try that! Thanks so much Melissa!! 🙂
I made this last night for my family but I added chives and sauteed mushrooms as well. Super good!
Yay! Thank you so much! Love the mushroom addition!
Loved this recipe – so delicious and easy!
Thanks Sarah!
Was in the middle of cooking up dinner and realized I had no dressing for my noodles to accompany a teriyaki glazed salmon filet. Googled “easy asian noodle sauce” and was not disappointed by this recipe. Sweet, savory, spicy. Will definitely repeat
Thanks so much Audrey! 🙂
