Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 200g noodles
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 green onion, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions until they are al dente, typically 3-5 minutes. Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse briefly with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- While the noodles are cooking, prepare your other ingredients. Finely chop the green onion, separating the white and green parts. Measure out the soy sauce and sesame oil.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and swirl to coat the pan.
- Crack the eggs into the hot skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Cook the eggs sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing them with the remaining sesame oil and soy sauce. Use tongs or a spatula to ensure the noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
- Divide the noodles between two serving plates. Top each plate with a fried egg and sprinkle with the chopped green onions, using both the white and green parts for added flavor and color.
- Serve immediately while the eggs are hot and the noodles are steaming. Optional: Add extra soy sauce or chili oil at the table for additional seasoning.
Tips
- Noodle Choice: Feel free to experiment with different types of noodles such as soba, udon, or rice noodles for a unique twist on this dish. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time according to the package instructions.
- Egg Perfection: For perfectly fried eggs, make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the eggs. This will help achieve crispy edges while keeping the yolk runny—just the way we love it!
- Flavor Boost: Enhance the flavor by adding a splash of chili oil or a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top before serving. This will give your dish an extra kick and visual appeal.
- Vegetable Add-ins: Don’t hesitate to toss in some veggies like bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots for added nutrition and color. Just sauté them briefly before adding the noodles.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your Asian Noodles and Fried Eggs with a side of pickled vegetables or a fresh cucumber salad to balance the richness of the dish.
