National Noodles Day- Discover the world of Noodles

National Noodles Day     

National Noodles Day is celebrated annually on 6^th October. The word “Noodle” is derived from the German word “nudel”. The rising steam from the bowl of noodles leaves us mouth-watering. Noodles are prepared simply by rolling the unleavened dough out and cutting it into multiple different shapes. Well, we have access to plenty of recipes out there. Not only flat but noodles also come in several forms, textures, and sizes and are served as meals with various sauces.

The Great old noodles

In 2005, a discovery confirmed that Noodles are about 4000 years old and were termed as the world’s oldest noodles. Its origin somewhere revolves around the Han dynasty of China. Thus, both Chinese and Italian can claim about the invention of Noodles. In Chinese culture, noodles are the symbol of longevity and are traditionally served on Chinese New Year (as Birthday noodle cake). The making of Noodles is considered a form of art in Japan.
