🛒 Ingredients
👨🍳 Instructions
Bring water to a boil in a large pot with a pinch of salt. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes). Drain immediately, rinse with cold water, and toss with 1 teaspoon oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or large pan on high heat. Crack the eggs directly into the pan, scramble them lightly until just cooked but still soft. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add 2 tablespoons oil and heat on high flame. Add minced garlic and green chillies, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add sliced onions and stir-fry for 1 minute until they turn slightly translucent but still crunchy.
Add julienned carrots and shredded cabbage. Stir-fry on high heat for 2 minutes, keeping the vegetables crisp.
Add the cooked noodles to the pan. Toss everything together on high heat for 1 minute.
Add soy sauce, tomato sauce, chilli sauce, pepper powder, and salt. Mix well ensuring all noodles are evenly coated with the sauces. Toss continuously for 2 minutes on high heat.
Add the scrambled eggs back to the pan and mix gently. Toss for another minute.
Finally, add chopped spring onions, give it a final toss, and remove from heat.
Serve hot immediately, garnished with extra spring onions if desired.
