Fresh egg noodles, crafted with rich eggs and fine flour, offer a tender bite and superior flavor to dried varieties. Perfect for a quick and delicious meal, these delicate strands absorb sauces beautifully, making them a versatile pantry staple for any home chef seeking authentic taste and texture.

Storage Time

3–5 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer

Temperature

Keep refrigerated at 0–4°C (32–40°F) for optimal freshness.

Freezing

To freeze fresh egg noodles, ensure they are completely dry. Lightly dust them with flour to prevent sticking, then portion them into airtight containers or freezer bags. For best quality, use within 2–3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or cook directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Signs of Spoilage

• A sour or off odor, distinct from the usual eggy aroma.
• A slimy or sticky texture, indicating bacterial growth.
• Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy spots of various colors.
