Best Noodles for Chinese Chicken Noodle Soup

There are many types of noodles in the market: dry and fresh. If you are not familiar with Chinese noodles, it might be overwhelming on what noodles to use for this recipe.

If you have access to Asian markets, always get fresh wheat noodles. You can choose either skinny or thick noodles, depending on your preference.

Different Variations of Hearty Chinese Chicken Noodle Soup

If you can’t find fresh noodles, packaged wheat or egg noodles will work well. You can even use rice noodles or maifun. Dry lo mein will work, too.

When you use dry noodles, always refer to the instructions on the packaging to prepare the noodles.

Cook’s Tips

The secret of this delicious recipe is garlic oil, which infuses the chicken broth with the deep aroma of the fried garlic. For the vegetables, I love baby bok choy for its crisp and leafy texture.

As most people do not have a homemade chicken broth, canned chicken broth works just fine.
