It is countable.
Explanation:
Noodles can be referred to in both the singular form (the noodle) and the plural form (the noodles).
Examples in the singular form, which is less common:
- After eating one more noodle, I felt full.
- I split the dry noodle into two before putting it in the pot.
- The noodle fell off my plate.
- The dogs in "Lady and the Tramp" kissed thanks to a single noodle.
Examples in the plural form:
- I like my spaghetti noodles on the harder side.
- I made instant noodles as a snack last night.
- Noodles are typically made of wheat.
- Which do you prefer: noodles or rice?
