Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams thin ramen noodles (or spaghetti)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 stalks scallions, finely chopped
- 300 grams broccoli florets
- 50 grams walnuts, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons tamari (or soy sauce)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons chili flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the cooked noodles, chopped scallions, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the noodles evenly.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spread the noodle mixture into the skillet, pressing it down gently to form an even layer.
Cook the noodle pancake for 5-7 minutes on one side until golden and crispy. Carefully flip it using a plate or a spatula, and cook for another 5-7 minutes on the other side. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a cutting board.
In a small bowl, toss the walnuts with 1 tablespoon of tamari until evenly coated.
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast the tamari-coated walnuts for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and add the minced garlic. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender yet crisp. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of tamari, a pinch of chili flakes (if using), and sesame seeds. Stir to coat evenly.
To serve, cut the noodle pancake into sections and place on plates. Top with the stir-fried broccoli and sprinkle with the tamari walnuts. Serve warm and enjoy!
