Instead of cooking them in water, cook them in Chicken Broth. This is how the Amish make theirs. And I always put my noodles in before the liquid boils so it absorbs the liquid and the flavor. This is great when you want to serve noodles as a side dish. You can also buy chicken base at the grocery store. It comes in a jar and is solid. This is what the resturants use. Add a spoonful to the liquid.
