Noodles are made from many different types of flour, so they can be made from wheat flour, mung bean flour, buckwheat flour, potato or sweet potato flour or rice flour. This makes it easy to find naturally gluten-free noodle options. Ready-to-eat noodles that do not need re-hydrating are a convenient option, but may contain extra stabilisers. Instant wheat noodles or cup noodles often contain added oil and preservatives that plain dried noodles don't contain.
