How can I preserve homemade noodles? For the last year and a half, I’ve been making my own noodles, but they either get cooked immediately after making or spoil within a few days. Is there a simple method to extend their shelf life?

Absolutely! Here are a few methods to help you preserve your homemade noodles:
-
Drying: One of the best ways to save homemade noodles is to dry them. Spread the noodles out in a single layer on a clean surface or a drying rack. Allow them to air dry for several hours or until they are completely hard. Once dried, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They can last for several months this way.
-
Freezing: If you prefer to keep your noodles fresh, consider freezing them. You can freeze the noodles either fresh (but let them dry a bit to prevent sticking) or after partially cooking them (about 1-2 minutes in boiling water). Lay them flat on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can last for several months in the freezer, and you can cook them straight from frozen.
-
Refrigerating: If you plan to use the noodles within a week, you can keep them in the fridge. Toss them in a little flour to prevent sticking, then store them in an airtight container or a sealed plastic bag. Just be sure to use them within a few days.
By using these methods, you can avoid waste and enjoy your homemade noodles over a longer period. Happy cooking!
