Oriental Noodles
Noodles are a much-loved staple in Southeast Asian cuisine. They are easy to cook and delicious to eat, making for the perfect addition to many different traditional oriental dishes. Usually made from either wheat, rice or buckwheat, noodle dough is extruded into the familiar long strips and can be cooked in a variety of ways.
The noodle’s origins are contentious, but most historians agree that China is the place where they were first made. This Chinese origin may have been influential in spreading the popularity of noodles to the neighbouring countries, where they adapted the staple to fit their own cuisine.
