So, what exactly happens when you freeze cooked noodles? Well, it turns out that the starches in the noodles can break down and become unappetizingly mushy when thawed, which isn't exactly what we're looking for in a tasty meal. But, on the other hand, some types of noodles are more resistant to freezing than others, and might just retain their texture and flavor after a stint in the freezer.
For instance, rice noodles and glass noodles tend to fare better in the freezer than wheat noodles or egg noodles, which can become unpleasantly mushy when thawed. It's a bit like how some fruits and vegetables are more suitable for freezing than others - think berries versus cucumbers, for example.

Another factor to consider is the method of freezing itself. If you freeze cooked noodles in a block of ice, they'll likely become a soggy mess when thawed. But, if you freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container, they might just retain their texture and flavor.
