Noodles and Egg Cushy
Ingredients:
For the Noodles:
- 200g (7 oz) egg noodles or any preferred noodles
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper (red or green), thinly sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
For the Egg Cushy:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
Instructions:
- Cook the Noodles:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- While the noodles are cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Combine Noodles and Vegetables:
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and hoisin sauce (if using). Toss everything together until the noodles are well coated with the sauce and heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with sesame oil if desired, for added flavor.
- Make the Egg Cushy:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or cream), salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
- Gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are soft and slightly creamy. If using cheese, sprinkle it over the eggs just before they are fully cooked and let it melt.
- Serve:
- Divide the noodles among serving plates. Top each portion with a generous serving of the egg cushy.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like chopped green onions or cilantro, if desired.
- Enjoy:
- Serve immediately while everything is hot. This dish pairs beautifully with a side of pickled vegetables or a simple green salad.
Tips:
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what you have on hand or your personal preferences.
- For added protein, you can incorporate cooked chicken, beef, or tofu into the noodle stir-fry.
This recipe for noodles and egg cushy offers a delightful blend of textures and flavors. The savory noodles with a mix of crisp vegetables, paired with the creamy, comforting eggs, make for a meal that’s both satisfying and easy to prepare. Enjoy!
