How long does uncooked fresh egg noodle last in the fridge?
amandaF
But I am wondering whether it can be kept longer or should I freeze
instead. The reason is that I can only get this in the other side of
town and it''s not worth the gas expense to go there often especially
since I don't get my vegies there anymore and get them form a farmer's
market. Theses fresh veggies do last longer.
So should I freeze those uncooked fresh egg noodle?

It is usually not a good idea to buy fresh egg pasta in the first place
and certainly not a good idea to keep it refrigerated or frozen.
Here is what Giuliano Hazan writes in _The Classic Pasta Book_:
<quote>
The so-called "fresh pasta" found in refrigerator compartments of
supermarkts and speciality shops is egg pasta at its worst. The noodles
are usually too thick, the dough is made with semolina, which is much
too hard a flour for egg pasta, and it is refrigerated so that it can be
called "fresh". In fact, you should avoid cold ingredients or cold
surfaces when making it, and the best way to store it is to let it dry
completely whether pasta is "fresh" or not. There is no discernible
difference between pasta used immediately after it is made, while still
moist, and pasta that has dried completely and been stored for several
weeks. If you must buy egg pasta, look for packaged noodles that have
been dried and curled into nests and check the ingredients to make sure
they are made with eggs.

I find that misleading. None of the shops here use hard wheat flour to make
egg pasta. Why would they? It costs 3-4 times as much as soft wheat flour!

In every single shop I have ever seen "fresh" egg pasta here in Germany,
it was hard wheat flour, every time. I suspect this is no different in
American shops, which Giuliano Hazan has in mind.

I just checked, and Victor's right, at least about the fresh pasta where I
shop. All the more reason to make it myself!

It is from an Asian store. I can tell the difference from the way I
feel when I eat different types of noodle. It may not e 100% wheat
but it does makes me feel well eating it and so I was going to use it
routinely.

Thing is, this poster starts out asking a question in the subject line
then proceeds to answer his own question while bashing "American" egg
noodles. Chances are we'll never hear from him again.

easy....very cheap and so much better than store bought. And what in
the hell is this "American rubbish" quip? You make them the same way
no matter where you live, moron. You buy them from Asia and are
unable to make them yourself in Sydney?
