Egg and Soba Noodle Bowl

Asian noodle soup doesn't need to simmer all day for that slow-cooked taste. Get the same mouthwatering results in 40 minutes when you stir in speedy flavor boosters like white miso paste and soy sauce. For extra flavor, start with chicken stock instead of water.

Korean-Style Steak and Noodles with Kimchi

This Asian noodle bowl recipe is packed with so many goodies you'll be scooping up something different with every bite. Aside from rice noodles and spiced flank steak, we added shiitake mushrooms, carrots, green onions, fresh spinach, and kimchi. If that's not enough flavor for you, add a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a drizzle of sriracha before digging in.

Sesame-Shrimp Noodle Bowl

We want to dive fork-first into this colorful Asian noodle bowl! Shredded red cabbage, cooked shrimp, and fresh sprigs of cilantro all work together to make this bowl look so enticing. And while it doesn't stand out quite as much, there are also cubes of tofu mixed in to bring the protein in this noodle bowl recipe up to a whopping 33 grams per serving.

04 of 16

Instant Pot Pho

Grab your Instant Pot for this noodle bowl recipe! Making a delicious pho is all about the broth, and your pressure cooker can speed the process up to create a delicious brisket and beef bone broth. Once the broth is done, the rest is up to you—serve it over rice noodles with your favorite fresh veggie toppers, and if you want, add a few slices of sirloin steak for more flavor and protein.

Seared Scallops with Noodle Salad

If you want dinner fast, make this noodle bowl recipe topped with seared scallops. Scallops cook in just a few minutes and are a delicious way to add protein to your meal.
