• Nudel itself most likely comes from Knodel or Nutel, an old German word meaning "dumpling," or, more literally, a "turd" or "small knot.
• So for its early years, the Nudel was pretty much any addition to a boiled or baked dish, usually made of wheat flour, butter, and milk.
• Floured crops were then made into noodles such as udon, soba, and pancakes which were eaten by locals. The most popular pay to cook these noodles is boiling them in water, wait until the noodles looks mushy, then frying them.
