Make

  1. Bring a stock pot of water to boil. Add noodles and cook according to package directions. Drain.

  2. While noodles cook, heat a saute pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add first part of cooking oil. When oil begins to shimmer add onions and bell peppers. Saute until vegetables start to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. 

  3. Add snap peas and saute until tender, ~2 minutes more. 

  4. Add sauce and simmer until sauce begins to thicken, ~1 minute.

  5. Remove from heat and stir in noodles. Cover to keep warm.

  6. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and add second part of cooking oil. Pour eggs into oil and fry to desired done-ness (cook on one side for sunny-side up or flip and cook on both sides).

  7. Divide noodles between serving bowls and top each with sesame seeds and lime juice. Finish with a fried egg seasoned with some salt and pepper. Enjoy!
