Julia

This looks delicious, but I'm confused by the order. Wouldn't my fried eggs end up cold on top after waiting to cook the cabbage? Any reason not to swap steps 3 and 4? Or add another pan to fry the eggs? I'd love tips from people who have tried this recipe. Thank you!

My grandmother came right over to the US from Canton (Guanzhou) and used to make a noodle dish just like this except she used sai fun, which are clear noodles made from mung beans. As I recall, she just made a depression in the middle of the noodles near the end and scrambled the eggs in the hollowed out area in the pan. Cold egg concerns solved. Also gluten-free, now that I think about it.

People are asking why the recipe cooks the eggs first. I think that’s just to keep this to a quick one-pan meal. Cook with two pans if you like; you won’t be arrested! And no, the eggs won’t get cold in 9 minutes unless you put them on an ice cold plate. Tip: warm a plate under hot water for a minute while the eggs are cooking. Dry the plate and put the eggs on it. This will keep them warm enough while you finish the noodles.

So tasty! We added a dash of fish sauce to the noodles to use up an old bottle. We also served with some frozen shrimp that we sautéed with garlic. So delicious! We didn’t have any sesame seeds on hand, but the sesame oil flavor came through beautifully. I look forward to making this again, trying out with some broccoli next time!

Toni

After you cook the eggs, there's another 7 to 9 minutes before the dish is complete. So the eggs are meant to be eaten cold, on top of the warm noodles?

Patrick

The grocery store didn’t have thin egg noodles so I used rice noodles instead and it still tasted great! Very easy and delicious weeknight dinner option

Frank

My wife and I like to hand the phone to our 6 year old and have her flip through the app and pick something out for dinner...good way to try new things. She picked this and it was very good for being so simple. Sure there are sequence issues but we can figure those out easy enough. I deboned some chicken thighs and cook in soy, garlic, ginger, and sesame to go with it and increase the protein. I fried out the discarded chicken skin and fat instead of cooking the cabbage in oil for a change.

Samantha

Made this with red cabbage and ramen (what I had) and it was yummy! I think adding some herbs (parsley, Thai basil, even celery leaves) and a squeeze of lemon would take this next level. I cooked in order but put eggs in a warm oven to hang til time to bowl up. Lots of room for modification here- definitely in the rotation!

Keta

Very good dish with the following modifications based on suggestions from others: 1) Did the sauce x 4 ( was making for a large group anyway)2) added minced garlic and ginger to the sauce3) did a cornstarch slurry to thicken sauce and heated it in a saucepan4) microwaved the cabbage some prior to sauteing (very helpful for the large amount of cabbage I had!)5) blanched some sugar snap peas and added at the end6) served with boneless chicken thighs marinated ginger garlic sauceThumbs up!

Hi! I found great success making any Asian stir fry or Pad Thai noodles dish by using the bagged broccoli or cabbage (long strand) slaw, already shredded, perfect for ultra quick meal, even with Mr Noodles! If you’re a student with a microwave, just put a handful of washed broccoli or cabbage slaw (long shredded type) in with the noodles and flavoring, fill with boiled water, microwave for a couple of minutes checking to see that the noodles and veggies are to your liking, Enjoy!

A. Cleary

Haven't made this precise recipe, but a nearly identical one. The eggs can be cooked last to prevent them going cold. or you can put them on a warm plate over a pan of hot water and they'll be fine. I always cook them last since they take just a few minutes and the pan will be hot from finishing the noodles. It's a quick, tasty & satisfying meal however you do the eggs.

Edith

That was exactly my question. I think the eggs should be cooked last.

jen c

Do I use 1.5 pounds of cabbage or half of a cabbage that weighs 1.5 pounds?

k

super simple recipe but this really hit the spot for me. i didn't have dark soy sauce or white pepper, but made the rest as described and thought it was delicious!

Ande

My whole family loved this. I added spinach as I had some I needed to use, but would probably just increase the cabbage next time (so there is a full serving of veg per person). I suspect the recipe calls for making the eggs first so you can use just one pan, but I just quickly cleaned my off after cooking base ingredients in the sauce and then cooked my eggs. I do think the eggs would get cold otherwise and it's much easier to put the eggs directly on the food then to transfer more than once!

Lisa

Delicious! I used a thicker (gluten free) noodle, and added some sh*takis.

dulce

This was really good. I wish I’d looked at the comments first because I would have added additional seasonings. I loved the cooked cabbage and the scallions, so I’ll probably change the ratio next time, but great starting point. Oh, and I used a large enough pan that I could just shift the noodles to the side and cook the egg.

Broome

Can anyone share the type or brand of egg noodles they used? I had all the ingredients in my hand at the grocery store and then struggled with the egg noodles. If anyone could share.

Shay

In addition to butterflies shrimp I added sh*take mushrooms. Delicious dish.

JKH

This is an excellent recipe! Used slivered Brussels sprouts rather than cabbage because that is what I had. Added a little grated ginger. A perfect dinner for those nights when you need something delicious, but easy.

Amy L

Total keeper! I made it as written plus threw a little Gochujang on at the end. This is going in my rotation.

Em

Made the recipe as written (gasp). Delicious in its simplicity. Even better the next day for lunch with a scoop of chili crisp.

bee

Added thinly sliced carrots with the cabbage and use only 2 teaspoons of dark soy. Add chili oil to taste

Maria

This was delicious. Followed the recipe closely but didn't have scallions so used a combination of regular onions and chives. Cooked the eggs at the end. Served with chicken and it was a hit, even with my teenagers.

debra

Instead of egg, marinate tofu in some of the sauce and add towards the end.

Daniel

This was a tasty, simple, restaurant quality dish that is pretty easy to make. Next time I would add some sugar to the sauce and garlic to the stir fry.

Rennie

Sun rice noodles

Susan

Really easy and yummy! Added some mushrooms and greens that I needed to use up, delish. Hundo p will make again.

Elizabeth K

Definitely switch steps 3 and 4. Push the cabbage and noodles aside to cook the eggs.

Michelle

Made as suggested except cooked eggs in seperate pan at same time. added some baked firm tofu - coated in cornflour, salt , pepper and sesame oil to add some extra protein
