National Noodle Day

National Noodle Day celebrates noodles in their many forms and the countless dishes made with them. On October 6, enjoy everything from wheat, rice, buckwheat, yam, potato, and bean noodles to pasta, ramen, and other regional specialties. As CooksInfo notes, noodle dishes can be found in cuisines associated with Hong Kong, Italy, Germany, Singapore, Taiwan, Hungary, and many other places.

The exact origin of the holiday is unclear. The earliest October reference located by CooksInfo appeared in a California publication in 2006, while a 1930 Courier Post reference mentioned a “Noodle Day” held on June 7; these may not describe the same observance. The history of noodles themselves is much older: sources describe early noodle traditions in China and the development of many different forms and dishes across Asia, Europe, and elsewhere.

How to Observe National Noodle Day

Celebrate by cooking your favorite noodle dish, making noodles at home, or trying a variety you have not had before. Explore a noodle dish from another cuisine, such as ramen, lo mein, pasta, or rice noodles, and share a noodle-centered meal with friends or family. For more inspiration, CooksInfo lists a range of noodle varieties and cuisines.
