Ingredients

  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 1 small cucumber
  • 1 medium bell pepper
  • 1 cup broccoli
  • 2 whole chili peppers
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the 8 oz egg noodles in boiling salted water until al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Thinly slice the 1 carrot, 1 bell pepper, and 2 chili peppers. Cut the 1 cup broccoli into small florets. Slice the 1 cucumber into thin rounds.

  3. 3

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the sliced carrot, bell pepper, chili peppers, and broccoli. Stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Push vegetables to one side. Crack the 2 eggs into the empty side and scramble until just set, about 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Add the cooked noodles and 3 tbsp soy sauce to the wok. Toss everything together over high heat until well combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve the noodles topped with the sliced cucumber. Enjoy hot.
