The list of Chinese noodle dishes spans from fresh noodles, wonton noodles, char siu noodles, braised duck noodles, dumpling noodles, wonton noodles, venison satay noodles… These noodle dishes share a common flavor profile: the richness of the broth, the soft, tender golden noodles, the vibrant green vegetables, and the deliciousness of the accompanying meats and seafood.

Thanh ngJapanese noodlesreal
Japan boasts a wide variety of noodle dishes, but tracing their origins, preparation methods, types of noodles, ingredients, and accompanying toppings reveals only three main types: ramen, udon, and soba. Japanese noodles have many advantages for diners. Most notably, the broth is fragrant, rich, and subtly sweet, thanks to being simmered entirely from bones over high heat for 8-10 hours. These dishes are served with a variety of toppings, offering a rich and diverse culinary experience. Finally, the noodles themselves are always glossy, fresh, soft, and slippery. In addition to hot noodle dishes that are not unfamiliar to Vietnamese palates, Japan also offers bamboo tube noodles. Diners can dip the noodles into cold soy sauce or enjoy cold noodles with ice cubes, a gesture that might be a concern for those with sensitive stomachs.
Spicy and sour Korean noodles
Associated with the characteristic sour and spicy flavors of Korea, Korean noodle dishes such as beef noodles, kimchi noodles, mixed noodles, stir-fried noodles, and Jajangmyeon (Korean noodles)... besides their irresistible aroma and attractive colors, always have a sour and spicy taste that is not recommended for those who cannot eat spicy food or have sensitive stomachs. In addition to these factors, Korean noodles are difficult to make at home due to the complexity of dozens of different ingredients and spices. However, with the reasonable price of these noodles at Korean restaurants, diners don't need to go through the trouble or spend too much money.
