Cuisine: Chinese
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup scallions, chopped
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 8 oz of egg noodles, 4 slices of bacon (chopped), 3 beaten eggs, 1/4 cup of chopped scallions, 2 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of sesame oil, and 1 tsp of black pepper.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 3-5 minutes. Drain the noodles and set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat a medium-high flame. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once the bacon is cooked, reduce the heat to medium and push the bacon to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the other side of the skillet. Scramble the eggs gently, mixing them with the bacon as they begin to set, for about 2-3 minutes.
- Next, add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet, along with the chopped scallions. Stir everything together to combine the ingredients evenly.
- Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the noodle mixture. Sprinkle in the black pepper. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the noodles are well-coated with the sauce and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Continue to stir-fry the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the noodles to heat through.
- Once everything is heated and well combined, remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the Bacon Scallion Egg Noodle Stir Fry hot, garnished with additional chopped scallions if desired. Enjoy your meal!
Tips

- Make sure your skillet or wok is hot before adding ingredients to achieve that perfect stir-fry sear.
