1 Cup Dry Wide Egg Noodles (38g) = ½ cup + 1 tbsp + ¼ tsp Cooked
1 US cup (38 grams) of uncooked wide egg noodles yields ½ cup + 1 tbsp + ¼ tsp (91.2 grams) cooked after standard stove-top preparation in water or broth—a verified 0.57× volume expansion and 2.4× weight multiplier providing roughly 0.6 standard cooked servings.
Because of their fluffy, ribbon-like shape, dry egg noodles pack very lightly into measuring cups. Boil for 6–8 minutes in salted water or broth until tender.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do dry egg noodles weigh so little per cup? ▾
Wide egg noodle ribbons curl irregularly, creating immense air gaps in a measuring cup so 1 cup weighs only ~38g, and softens into ~0.57 cup (~91g) cooked at 160g/cup.
How much cooked egg noodles does a 12 oz bag yield? ▾
A standard 12 oz (340g) bag of dry egg noodles (~9 cups dry) yields about 5 to 5.5 cups (~815g) of cooked buttery noodles for beef stroganoff or chicken noodle soup.
