Pasta & Noodles

Ginger-Scallion Ramen Noodles

The noodles are just a vessel for this savory, gingery, simple weeknight sauce.

For the best springy texture that won’t fall apart when tossed, look for soba noodles that contain a blend of wheat and buckwheat.

You can use whatever cut of steak you’re in the mood for—or even a chicken cutlet or thin-cut pork chop here.

Stir-Fried Udon Noodles With Pork and Scallions

The secret to making these gingery sesame noodles super-satisfying: When sautéing the ground pork, don’t break it up too much—big, chunky pieces really make the final dish.

Ruth Reichl's Favorite Recipes from the Gourmet Years

These are the recipes she cooks again and again.

Spicy Buckwheat Noodles With Chicken

A simple dish of soba noodles tossed with poached chicken, chili oil, soy sauce, and scallions.

Kimchi and Miso Noodle Soup

Kimchi is an incredibly flavorful ingredient to use in stews, dressings, and wraps and sandwiches. The amount you use is dependent on how strong it is. Use you tastebuds as a guide, adding more if you need.

Pineapple Shrimp Noodle Bowls

Caramelized pineapple and sautéed shrimp get tossed in a sweet, sour, and spicy sauce with lots of fresh basil. We like it spooned over rice noodles and topped with cucumbers, onions, and peanuts, but it’s also great with any grain.

Steak Stroganoff

This is not your grandma’s beef stroganoff. We updated our favorite parts of the classic by swapping in a medium-rare strip steak and adding a squeeze of lemon and sprinkling of dill for a fresh take on dinner.

Cold Udon with Grapefruit Ponzu

Cold noodles tossed in a bright citrus and chile sauce are the ideal canvas for jammy roasted tomatoes in this light summer dish.

Meatballs and Noodle Soup

Almondigas is a hearty Filipino soup consisting of meatballs and thin, salted Chinese noodles made from wheat flour that cook quickly.

Stir-Fried Rice Noodles with Shrimp and Adobo

Pansit has come to symbolize long life and health in Filipino culture, and is commonly served at birthdays, baptisms, and New Year’s celebrations.

Peanut Rice Noodles with Pork and Collard Greens

This one goes out to all the peanut sauce fans out there. And if you’re thinking, Peanut butter and pork? Sounds crazy! Trust us, it works. Also trust us on this: Putting sugar in your noodles for this recipe is crucial. It balances the salt, heat, fat, and tanginess going on here, and brings out the flavors of everything else (nope, it doesn’t make anything sweet).

Coconut Rice Noodles with Ginger and Turmeric

Blooming the ginger, turmeric, and black pepper in oil is essential for releasing their aromatic properties into the sauce.

Rice Noodles al Pomodoro

Bursting with jammy cherry tomatoes that make their own sauce, this rice noodle–and–chili oil riff on the classic Italian pasta takes just 20 minutes to throw together.

Noodles with Chilled Tomato Broth

Inspired by the Korean soup kuksi, this chilled tomato broth is topped with noodles and crunchy vegetables for a refreshing summer dinner.
