Baby Dragon Noodles

I got this recipe here: http://www.budgetbytes.com/2012/08/spicy-noodles/

I have made this several times successfully, it's easy, delicious, and very unhealthy!

Unfortunately, today was only my second day in Tbilisi and I went grocery shopping kind of on a whim, no list, and didn't have all the right ingredients for the sauce. I tried it anyway because I didn't really have other options.

Rating: 3/5

Ingredients: 

• 4 oz. lo mein noodles handful of Supremo brand spaghetti noodles
• 2 Tbsp butter 1 Tbsp butter 
• ¼ tsp crushed red pepper  black table pepper
• 1 large egg
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar 2 Tsp white sugar
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp sriracha  a healthy squirt of "spicy fire Mexican ketchup"
• 1 handful fresh cilantro
• 1 sliced green onion

Instructions: 

1. Boil the water and cook the noodles. I had to wash my pot and pan first, as they were brand new.
2. I didn't have ingredients for the sauce, so I skipped that step
3. In a large skillet melt butter over medium-low heat. Add the pepper to the butter as it melts. Add sugar to the melted butter. Whisk an egg in a bowl coffee cup and then add to the melted butter. Stir gently and cook through. Once the egg is done cooking, turn off the heat.
4. When the noodles are tender, drain the water and then add them to the skillet with the cooked egg. Turn the heat on to low to evaporate excess moisture, add ketchup, and stir until everything is mixed up well. Sprinkle the cilantro leaves (whole) on top and serve!

Lessons Learned:

• Stir the egg up really well, don't let it settle at the bottom of the bowl
• Make the sauce...
• Don't use spaghetti noodles, flat noodles would be better
• Add some veggies

It took me 25 mins, including washing the pot and pan in the beginning.

Thanks, Budget Bytes for the recipe! It's seriously good when made right. I suggest using half the butter called for and adding a vegetable like baby bok choy or spinach to give it some nutritional value!
