Directions: Spicy Noodles with Seared Kielbasa, Shrimp, and Soft-Boiled Egg
Step 1: Prepare the Soft-Boiled Eggs
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Gently lower eggs into the water, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 6 minutes for jammy yolks.
- Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes, then peel and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Noodles
- In the same boiling water, cook noodles according to package instructions (about 3–4 minutes for ramen or lo mein).
- Drain and toss with 1 teaspoon sesame oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Sear the Kielbasa and Shrimp
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add kielbasa slices and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.
- Add shrimp and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with kielbasa.
Step 4: Stir-Fry the Veggies & Aromatics
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- Add bell pepper and carrots, and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender yet crisp.
Step 5: Build the Spicy Noodles
- In a small bowl, whisk together chili garlic sauce, soy sauces, rice vinegar, and sugar.
- Add noodles, kielbasa, shrimp, and sauce mixture to the pan. Toss until everything is evenly coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in green onions.
Step 6: Assemble and Serve
- Divide noodles between bowls. Halve the soft-boiled eggs and place on top.
- Garnish with extra green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
