Chicken Yakitori
Get ready for a culinary trip to the bustling streets of Tokyo! In this top-rated noodle recipe, we’ll teach you how to make your own version of Yakitori, the beloved skewered chicken from Japan.

Top Noodle Recipe #4
Rapid Stir-Fried Beef
This noodle dish made it to our Top 10 for many reasons. While the beef and broccoli combo is always a good idea (especially in sweet and savory stir-fries), this meal only takes 20 minutes to prepare. It’s even quicker than your favorite delivery service and perfect if you’re standing on the edge of “hangry.” And since those bouncy noodles are fried up in a blink of an eye, you even have time to clean up that one pan.
Top Noodle Recipe #5
Chicken Lo Mein
If you’re a fan of our Shrimp Lo Mein, you’ll be delighted by this version featuring chicken tenders as the main protein complementing your noodles. Just fry your chicken strips until cooked through and golden brown. Then sizzle up a colorful medley of carrots, green beans, and button mushrooms in aromatic ginger and garlic. Well done! Now, throw it all together in a hot pan of chewy udon noodles and that famous hoisin-soy sauce.
Top Noodle Recipe #6
Mushroom Lo Mein
It’s no secret that mushrooms are the meat of the veggie world. After all, they give every meal a whole lot of bite and deep savory flavors. That’s why this recipe doesn’t need anything else but a handful of button mushrooms, crispy veggies (as in sweet carrots and snappy green beans) and, of course, our thick udon noodles to soak up those sweet and savory stir-fry juices.
Top Noodle Recipe #7
Slurp's Up! Sesame Chicken Noodles
If you asked our home cooks about their favorite comfort foods, Sesame Chicken would definitely be on their list. In this noodle recipe, we’re going completely nuts by adding creamy peanut butter to a delicious sweet and savory soy and honey sauce spiked with garlic and hot pepperolio. And while the linguine add body to the chicken dish, crispy red cabbage brings in a wonderful crunch.
Top Noodle Recipe #8
Thai-Spiced Pork and Rice Noodle Stir-Fry
Some of our most popular Hall of Fame recipes feature the balanced flavor palate found in traditional Thai cuisine. For this top recipe, we’ve captured the four flavor pillars—sweet, savory, sour, and spicy—in a special Thai seasoning mix that brings out the best in that juicy, pan-fried pork. Sizzled up with vibrant mini bell peppers and served with rice noodles, you’ll be dreaming about this dish for a while.
Top Noodle Recipe #9
Shrimp Pad See Ew
Never get fooled by the modest name of a dish. Even though “Pad See Ew” literally means “Soy Sauce Stir-Fry,” there’s a whole world of flavors hiding behind those three letters. We’re talking chili pepper, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and fresh basil, all waiting to infuse plump shrimp, broccoli, mushrooms, and thick rice noodles with their tantalizing aroma. Served with crunchy peanuts, this dish rounds out our top 10 noodle recipes rather nicely.
