Malaysian-Style Spicy Egg Noodles

Malaysian-Style Spicy Egg Noodles bring a bold, chili-forward heat balanced with a touch of sweetness from ketchup and a hint of garlic. Tender egg noodles are tossed with wilted spinach, crisp bean sprouts, and peas, with an egg folded in for extra richness. Serve for a quick weeknight dinner or a late-night comfort bowl when you crave something lively and satisfying.

Malaysian-Style Spicy Egg Noodles
  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil, cook the egg noodles for 6 to 8 minutes until slightly firm, then drain.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and sauté the garlic for about 1 minute. Stir in the spinach and cook for about 1 minute. Add the cooked egg noodles, chile paste, and ketchup, and toss until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Create a well in the center of the noodle mixture. Add the egg to the center, and scramble it, tossing with the noodles just before the egg finishes cooking.

  4. 4

    Stir the sugar and enough water to keep the mixture moist into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, for about 6 minutes. Toss in the sprouts and peas, and cook and stir for about 4 minutes, until heated through.
