Beyond Ramen: 8 Ways to Use Your Homemade Noodles
The noodles you learn to make at The Story of Ramen can become much more than a bowl of ramen. Put your noodle-making skills to work with these eight recipes, from refreshing cold noodle salads and savory stir-fries to comforting soups and Italian-inspired sauces. Whether you’ve joined our hands-on ramen class in San Francisco or are making noodles at home for the first time, explore new ways to turn one versatile recipe into a variety of satisfying meals.
Japanese-Inspired Dishes
Take your homemade ramen noodles in two delicious directions: stir-fry them with chicken and vegetables for savory yakisoba, or serve them chilled with a tangy miso-sesame dressing. Both offer a way to enjoy fresh noodles without preparing a ramen broth.
More Asian Noodle Dishes
Explore Korean, Taiwanese, and Singaporean flavors with your homemade noodles. Toss them in a spicy gochujang dressing for bibim guksu, pair them with tender braised beef and aromatic broth, or build a fragrant bowl of coconut laksa using prepared spice paste.
Italian-Inspired Dishes
Give familiar Italian dishes a fresh twist with the springy texture of homemade ramen noodles. Try an egg-and-Parmesan carbonara, garlic clams with their savory cooking juices, or a hearty, slow-cooked pork ragù. Each brings a different sauce—and another reason to keep making noodles at home.
