Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil water in a pot. Add glass noodles and cook until chewy, about 6 minutes. Drain.

  2. Step 2

    In the same pot, whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar together. Add the cooked noodles and toss until glossy, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a skillet over medium-high with a thin coat of oil. Crack in the eggs and fry until whites set but yolks still jiggle, about 3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Divide warm rice between two bowls. Top with seasoned noodles and a fried egg. Serve immediately.
