Chef Ran Ben Ezra Shares Perfect Method for Non-Sticky Wide Noodles at Home

Chef and food blogger Ran Ben Ezra has revealed a simple and effective method to prepare wide noodles at home that do not stick together. The recipe requires basic ingredients commonly found in most kitchens, including a packet of wide noodles, olive oil, salt, hot water, and very cold water. The process involves lightly frying the noodles in olive oil until they turn golden, then soaking them in salted boiling water for about 10 minutes. After draining, the noodles are rinsed in very cold water for another 10 minutes to separate them and prevent clumping. Finally, a bit of olive oil and a pinch of salt are gently mixed in to maintain the noodles’ soft texture and individual separation.

This technique eliminates the common problem of noodles sticking into a single mass and avoids the need for constant stirring or complicated preparation. The result is tender, flavorful noodles that can be served as a side dish, with sauce, or on their own, suitable for the whole family. Ben Ezra’s method offers a quick, accessible way to achieve restaurant-quality wide noodles at home without stress or mess.

The recipe was shared recently on social media, accompanied by step-by-step instructions and a photo by Ran Zen Ezra, encouraging home cooks to try this easy approach to perfect wide noodles.
