Drain, Cool, and Serve
For a lower-fat option, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss the dry, coated noodles with 2-3 tablespoons of oil. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder to the corn starch mixture before coating the noodles for a spicy kick.
After frying and while they are still warm, toss the noodles with 1 teaspoon of dried oregano or mixed Italian herbs for a different flavor profile.
The carbohydrates from the wheat noodles provide a rapid source of energy, making it a satisfying snack when you need a quick boost.
Incorporating crispy textures into meals can enhance the sensory experience and overall satisfaction of a dish, especially when used as a topping for soups or salads.
This usually happens for three reasons: the noodles were overcooked, they were not dried completely before frying, or the oil was not hot enough. Ensure noodles are al dente, completely dry, and the oil is at the correct temperature.
Absolutely! Once they are completely cooled, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. They are perfect for meal prep.
Thin wheat-based noodles like Hakka noodles, chowmein noodles, or even thin spaghetti work best. Avoid rice noodles as they have a different texture.
As a deep-fried food, Crispy Fried Noodles are high in calories and fat. They are best enjoyed in moderation as an occasional treat or a crunchy garnish rather than a primary meal component.
One serving (about 1 cup) contains approximately 350-380 calories. The majority of the calories come from the carbohydrates in the noodles and the oil absorbed during frying.
Yes, you can. Toss the dry, coated noodles with 1-2 tablespoons of oil and air fry at 190°C (375°F) for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy. They may not be as uniformly crisp as the deep-fried version but are a great healthier alternative.
