Ingredients

For the Dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

For the Bowl:

  • 1 cup thinly sliced carrots
  • 1 head savoy cabbage
  • 4 pieces scallions (sliced, saving a few greens for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds (plus extra for topping)
  • 4 ounces wide udon noodles
  • 2 to 3 pieces eggs fried to perfection
  • 1 tablespoon ghee or butter
  • to taste chili flakes optional

Instructions

  • Begin by cooking the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, water, honey, and sea salt. Set this vinaigrette aside—it will be a delightful dressing for your bowl.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced carrots and sauté for about 2 minutes until they start to soften.
  • Add the sliced savoy cabbage and scallions to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Pour the soy sauce over the vegetables and stir well to combine. Let it cook for another minute or two until everything is well coated.
  • In a separate pan, heat the ghee over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and fry them to your desired doneness. For a runny yolk, aim for about 2-3 minutes.
  • To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked udon noodles among serving bowls. Top with the sautéed cabbage and carrot mixture, then place one or two fried eggs on top.
  • Drizzle the reserved vinaigrette over each bowl. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, scallion greens, and chili flakes if desired.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in your Cabbage Noodle Bowls with Fried Eggs!
