Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil glass noodles in salted water until just tender, about 4–5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Stir soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and sugar together in a small bowl until sugar dissolves.

  3. Step 3

    Toss warm noodles with the sauce until evenly coated. Set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Crack both eggs into the pan.

  5. Step 5

    Fry until edges crisp and brown but yolks still jiggle when the pan tilts, about 3–4 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with noodles, then slide a fried egg on top. Serve immediately.
