Instructions
Cook the Noodles

  1. Bring a large pot of water to boil, add the noodles, stir around with a wooden spatula to separate, and cook according to package directions, usually about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cool water in a colander. Shake out excess water, put noodles in a bowl, drizzle with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and set aside.

Mix the Sauce

  1. Crush the toasted sesame seeds with a wooden spoon in a glass measuring cup. Add the brown sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce and mix to combine. Set aside.

Stir Fry

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the onions and crunchy veg and stir-fry 3 or 4 minutes. Then add the sauce with the greens and stir-fry 3 or 4 more minutes. Combine noodles and veggies in serving bowl/platter.

Cook the Eggs and Serve

  1. Whisk the eggs with 1 tablespoon water. Heat 1 teaspoon cooking oil in nonstick frying pan set over medium heat, then add the eggs. Cook without stirring until set enough to flip like a pancake, a couple minutes. Flip and cook other side a minute. Transfer to cutting board, roll up and slice into thin ribbons. Put on top of the noodles and veggies, add the baked tofu, and serve with sriracha, gochujang, or other fun spicy condiment.
