Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, cook the egg noodles 6 to 8 minutes, until al dente, and drain.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the garlic about 1 minute. Stir in the spinach, and cook about 1 minute. Mix in the cooked egg noodles, chile paste, and ketchup, and toss until well coated.

Step 3

Make a hole in the center of the noodle mixture. Place the egg in the center, and scramble, tossing with the noodles just before egg is finished cooking.
