Dried noodles are a staple at our house. I rely on them whenever I need to lay a quick and easy meal on the table after a long day. They really are the next best thing to fresh noodles, especially since I live some distance from the Asian market. They store well in the pantry and most varieties can be cooked or reconstituted in under five minutes.

I have a good supply of egg noodles, wheat noodles, rice noodles, glass noddles, and vermicelli in my pantry. The varieties shown here are pretty inexpensive and may be easily purchased at any Asian grocery store.

Besides rice and glass noodles, there are also other gluten-free options available. I came across these noodles while shopping one day and picked up four different varieties – mung bean, sorghum, millet, and corn. I have yet to cook them but hope to do so soon. You can buy them on-line here.

Any kind of meat and vegetables may be added to this stir fry. Slices of pork, chicken, shrimp, squid, Asian style fish cakes, and crabsticks are all good. For the vegetables, napa cabbage, bok choy, snow peas, carrots, green beans, bean sprouts, and green onions will all work. Vegetables with the exception of carrots should, be added at the very end so that they remain fresh and crisp.

There are obviously two parts to the cooking of this Stir Fried Noodles with Chicken and Crabsticks. First, the egg noodles need to be boiled and drained. This only takes a few minutes. A little oil is added to the cooked noodles to prevent it from sticking or clumping together. The second part is the actual stir-fry itself and this also does not take long at all. Lunch or dinner should be ready in 30 to 40 minutes including prep work.

For this particular stir-fry, I chose to use flat cut egg noodles but any other kind will work too. The boiling time for the noodles may differ. Please read packaging instructions. If you are using beehoon or mai fun (thin rice sticks), they only need to be soaked and not boiled before doing the stir fry. The thicker variety do need to be precooked.

    Like you, I can always find a quick and healthy meal to make when I have my go-to staples in the pantry. I really like the combination of fish and chicken. Add noodles and my family is always happy.

    Can I come for lunch?:D You make cooking noodles so simple but I somehow can’t quite get it right…the noodles usually stick to the pan…I guess the trick is to use non-stick huh?

      You most definitely can! Yes, a non-stick pan is the way to go unless you have a very well seasoned wok.

      We do love our noodles, don’t we? Yes, it is nice to have a variety apart from rice noodles especially when some of us have gluten intolerance. I will have to try out the mung bean, sorghum, millet, and corn noodles soon.

    Looks wonderful, Biren. I have often wondered what, besides sushi, can be done with crab sticks. Now I know! πŸ™‚

      I don’t buy crabsticks very often but when I do, I normally use it in a stir fry.

    I went to an Asian supermarket the other day and was so confused by the variety of noodles. They all looked good and honestly, I wanted to cook all of them.
    I am going to try your recipe out. I am sure my daughter will love it!
    This looks awesome!

    What an easy and beautiful stirfry! Your stash of noodles makes me realize that I need to cut back on my “pasta” and reach for the egg and rice noodles. I love those flat egg noodles you used and the toppings sound delicious!

    Oh! That looks so good, especially with the generous amount of tau geh you add. I do prefer noodles to rice – always have and noodles are a big hit in my house, which is why I get nervous when I don’t have at least 2 or 3 packs in my pantry. Lovely pics!

    I missed this one, but I am so glad you posted about all the noodles. I have many of the noodles like you have in your stock pile πŸ™‚ I often wonder if I am using them in the right way. Maybe I’ll just email you and ask what I should do with the ones I am using that night. πŸ˜€ Thanks!
