Soft Egg Omelet Noodles
Do Noodles Always Have to Be Made of Dough? Try Egg Omelet Noodles!
Why limit noodles to just dough? This recipe transforms thinly sliced, perfectly pan-fried egg omelets into a delightful noodle-like experience served in a savory broth. It’s a wonderfully comforting and surprisingly satisfying dish that’s incredibly easy to make. For an extra textural contrast, try adding thinly sliced fish cakes as well!
Ingredients- 5 large eggs
- 1 packet of broth mix (or homemade broth)
- Pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the savory broth, the soul of this dish. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the broth packet. Simmer according to the package directions until a rich and flavorful broth is achieved. While the broth is simmering, crack the 5 eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt to season the eggs. Whisk gently with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are well combined, being careful not to create too many bubbles.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to make the delicious egg omelets. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Once the pan is warm, add a small amount of cooking oil and use a paper towel to wipe the entire surface, creating a thin, even layer. This prevents the egg from sticking and ensures a beautifully cooked omelet.
Step 3
Pour the whisked egg mixture slowly into the heated pan, starting from the edges and letting it spread thinly. Tilt the pan slightly to ensure an even layer. Cook gently over low heat until the surface is mostly set and the edges just begin to turn golden. Carefully flip the omelet and cook the other side until lightly browned. Once cooked, let the egg omelet cool slightly. Then, roll it up tightly like a sushi roll. Finally, slice the rolled omelet thinly to resemble noodles. The thinner the slices, the more delicate the texture will be.
Step 4
Arrange the thinly sliced egg omelet noodles in a serving bowl, much like you would arrange traditional noodles. Pour the warm, prepared broth over the egg noodles. You can adjust the amount of broth to your preference.
Step 5
Finally, garnish your Egg Omelet Noodles as desired for a beautiful presentation! A sprinkle of thinly sliced green onions, chopped red chili peppers for a touch of color, or some sesame seeds can add extra flavor and visual appeal. For those who enjoy a chewier texture, consider adding thinly sliced fish cakes or mushrooms alongside the egg noodles. Enjoy your delicious and comforting meal!
