Following is a list of Different Types of Noodles :
Egg Noodles - Can be thin or thick,
flat or round, fresh or dried. All egg noodles, fresh or dried, need to
be cooked in boiling water before you use them. For broths, always use
fresh noodles.
Ramen Noodles - These noodles are
the Japanese interpretation of the Chinese egg noodle - the name ramen
means Chinese noodle. These very thin noodles are made from egg and
wheat flour. They need to be refrigerated until ready to use. Regular
Chinese egg noodles are a good substitute for ramen noodles.

Fresh Rice Noodles - Available
thick or thin, these fresh white rice noodles are steamed and lightly
oiled before being sealed and packed. Fresh rice noodle rolls are made
out of the same dough, but are sold in a sheet or roll which can be cut
to the desired width. It is important that both the rice noodles and
rolls should be fresh. They will keep for up to two days and are best
stored at room temperature as they will become hard and difficult to
handle if they are refrigerated.

after being soaked and drained, they puff up.

translucent, flat dried noodles can be wide or slender. They are used in
stir-fries as well as soups and salads. They are packaged in bundles and
