Crispy Egg Yolk Noodle Nests

📝 Ingredients:

• 1 bundle of thin wheat noodles (or spaghetti)

• 2 egg whites

• 4 egg yolks

• Salt to taste

• Black pepper

• Chicken essence or chicken bouillon powder (optional)

• Oil for frying

• Chili powder (optional)

• Chopped green onion for garnish

👩🍳 Instructions:

1. Cook the Noodles
   Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until about 80% done. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.

2. Season the Noodles
   In a mixing bowl, combine the noodles with 2 egg whites, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of chicken essence. Mix well until the noodles are evenly coated.

3. Shape the Nests
   Brush a non-stick pan with a little oil. Using tongs or a fork, swirl a portion of noodles into a round "nest" shape directly in the pan.

4. Add the Egg Yolk
   Carefully drop one egg yolk into the center of each noodle nest.

5. Pan Fry
   Cook the nests on medium-low heat until the bottom is golden brown. Flip gently and cook the other side until crispy.

6. Season & Garnish
   Sprinkle the hot nests with chili powder, additional black pepper, and chopped green onions. Serve hot.
