Ingredients

6 oz egg noodles or ramen noodles
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon sriracha adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for extra spice
1 tablespoon butter
2 eggs lightly beaten
2 cloves garlic minced
2 green onions sliced
1 teaspoon sesame oil optional, for extra flavor
Sesame seeds and fresh cilantro for garnish optional

Instructions

Cook the noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, sriracha, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
In a large pan or wok, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Push the garlic to one side of the pan and pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble them gently until just set.
Add the cooked noodles to the pan and pour the sauce over them. Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
Remove from heat and stir in sliced green onions and sesame oil (if using).
Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

Adjust the heat: Add more or less sriracha depending on your spice preference.
Add protein: Toss in cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu to make the dish more filling.
Boost the veggies: Stir-fry bell peppers, snap peas, or shredded carrots for added texture and nutrition.
Use fresh noodles: If available, fresh lo mein or rice noodles work beautifully in this recipe.
Make it saucier: Double the sauce ingredients if you like a more generous coating.
