Comforting Spicy Turkey Noodle Soup
Scrambled Egg

Transform standard spicy turkey noodles into a rich, comforting soup. This quick meal combines a savory scrambled egg base with sausages for the ultimate bowl.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp cooking oil
• 1 large egg
• 2 sausages
• 1 tbsp Lao Gan Ma chili sauce
• 400 ml water
• 1 packet spicy turkey noodle sauce
• 50 g tribute vegetables
• 1 packet instant ramen noodles
• to taste green onions

Instructions

1. 1Heat the pan and oil

   

   Place a black electric frying pan over medium heat. Once the pan is warm, pour in a small amount of clear cooking oil and swirl it around to ensure the surface is evenly coated.

   Tip: Starting with a hot pan and cold oil is a classic technique to prevent ingredients, especially eggs, from sticking.
2. 2Fry a fresh egg

   

   Carefully crack one fresh egg into the center of the oiled frying pan. At this stage you do not need to worry about keeping the yolk whole as it will be scrambled later.

   Tip: Using a fresh large egg works perfectly to add richness and texture to the spicy broth.
3. 3Scramble the egg

   

   As the egg begins to set, use a white spatula to break the yolk and scramble the egg into small, bite-sized pieces. This ensures the egg is evenly distributed throughout the soup.

   Tip: Scrambling the egg is preferred here to avoid the dry texture of a whole cooked yolk in the finished soup.
4. 4Add sliced sausages to the pan

   

   Push the scrambled eggs to one side of the pan and add the diagonally sliced sausages. Sauté the sausages briefly to let them brown slightly, then stir them together with the eggs. This builds a savory base for the soup noodles.

   Tip: Scrambling the egg first prevents it from becoming a whole yolk, making it easier to mix with the other ingredients for a consistent texture.
5. 5Add Lao Gan Ma for fragrance

   

   Add a spoonful of Lao Gan Ma chili sauce to the sautéed eggs and sausages. Stir-fry everything evenly until the sauce is well distributed and aromatic, giving the mixture a rich, reddish tint.

   Tip: Stir-frying the chili sauce briefly before adding water helps release its aromatic oils for a deeper flavor.
6. 6Add water for the soup base

   

   After stir-frying the eggs, sausages, and chili sauce together until fragrant, pour in approximately one and a half bowls of fresh water to create the base for your noodle soup.

   Tip: Using boiling water instead of cold water can significantly reduce the cooking time and help the flavors meld faster.
7. 7Squeeze in the spicy turkey sauce

   

   After adding water to the pan, squeeze the concentrated spicy turkey sauce from its red packet into the liquid. Stir well to incorporate the sauce into the simmering water, creating a deep red, flavorful broth.

   Tip: Be careful when squeezing the packet to avoid splashing the hot broth on yourself.
8. 8Add tribute vegetables

   

   Toss a generous handful of tribute vegetables into the boiling spicy broth. These vegetables add a unique, crunchy texture that complements the soft noodles and spicy soup.

   Tip: If you cannot find tribute vegetables, bok choy or sliced celery can be used as a crunchy substitute.
9. 9Cook the noodle cake

   

   Place the dry instant noodle cake into the center of the bubbling spicy broth. Use chopsticks to gently push the noodles down and break them apart as they soften in the heat.

   Tip: Do not overcook the noodles; they will continue to soften as they sit in the hot soup while you prepare the garnish.
10. 10Garnish with green onions

    

    Use kitchen scissors to snip fresh green onion stalks directly over the hot noodles. This adds a pop of fresh flavor and color to the spicy dish before serving.

    Tip: Using scissors is a quick and convenient way to add fresh garnishes directly to the pot without needing a cutting board.
