Ingredients

  • 6 oz glass noodles (sweet potato starch)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 whole eggs

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil glass noodles in salted water until just tender, about 4–5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Stir soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and sugar together in a small bowl until sugar dissolves.

  3. 3

    Toss warm noodles with the sauce until evenly coated. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Crack both eggs into the pan.

  5. 5

    Fry until edges crisp and brown but yolks still jiggle when the pan tilts, about 3–4 minutes.

  6. 6

    Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with noodles, then slide a fried egg on top. Serve immediately.
