crispy noodles

Crunchy Asian topping

Crispy noodles are fried noodles served crunchy rather than soft, common in Chinese and other Asian cuisines.

They appear as a topping for dishes, a base for saucy stir-fries, or as a snack eaten plain.

The contrast between crispy noodles and a wet sauce is part of the appeal: The chow mein came on a bed of crispy noodles.
