Cooked egg noodles

Cooked egg noodles are a type of pasta made primarily from wheat flour and egg, which gives them a soft texture and a characteristic yellow color. When cooked, these noodles acquire a slightly elastic consistency and a delicate flavor that makes them ideal for a wide variety of culinary preparations, from soups and broths to stir-fries and stews.

Their origin dates back to European tradition, especially in Italian and German cuisine, where egg is incorporated into the dough to provide greater richness and flavor compared to eggless wheat noodles. In many Hispanic American cultures, cooked egg noodles are used as a base or side in homemade recipes, being a versatile and highly valued ingredient.

In terms of their properties, these noodles are a good source of energy-providing carbohydrates, in addition to containing proteins from the egg, B vitamins, and essential minerals. However, being cooked, their caloric content and texture depend on the cooking time.

In the Hispanic American context, cooked egg noodles may also be known by names such as egg noodles, homemade noodles, or simply cooked noodles. In some countries, they are called yellow noodles due to their characteristic color. It is important to note that although the term fideitos is used in certain places to refer to small noodles, it does not always indicate that they are made with egg.
