Fried Chinese noodles

Fried Chinese noodles are a crunchy and savory ingredient widely used in Asian cuisine and in recipes with Eastern influence around the world. These noodles, generally made from wheat flour, are fried until they achieve a golden and crispy texture, making them ideal for adding a touch of contrast to dishes like salads, soups, and stir-fries.

The origin of Chinese noodles dates back to ancient China, where they have been a staple food for thousands of years. The fried version became popular as a side and topping for various dishes, providing a unique texture and flavor.

From a nutritional standpoint, fried Chinese noodles primarily provide carbohydrates and fats due to their preparation in oil, so they are used in small quantities to complement recipes. They are an excellent option for adding a crunchy texture without the need for complicated ingredients.

In different Latin American countries, this ingredient may be known by various names such as crispy noodles, fried noodles, or simply Chinese noodles. In some places, they are also called dry noodles or golden noodles, always in reference to their characteristic frying that gives them their distinctive flavor and texture.
