Ingredients

  • 1 cup thinly sliced celery
  • 1 cup julienned carrots
  • 1/2 cup quartered onion thinly sliced (slice across the grain to get quarter moon slices)
  • 1/4 cup shredded cabbage
  • 4 cups prepared pasta (rice noodles recommended, but any thin pasta will work - angel hair or thin spaghetti or even ramen noodles work just fine)
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp Hoisin sauce (optional - if you don't have it, use a bit of extra soy sauce & a squeeze of lemon or lime juice & the flavor will be approximately the same)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup crumbled peanuts (salted/roasted - crumble with a food processor or put them in a ziplock bag & use a rolling pin)
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • (used for cooking - 3 tbsp olive or vegetable oil)

Directions

  1. Place peanuts in small amount of water and bring to a boil while preparing pasta.
  2. When peanuts boil turn heat off, cover, and let sit while you prepare other items.
  3. Heat olive or vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet (cast iron works best IMHO).
  4. Add vegetables to oil & stir continuously until tender but crisp.
  5. Move vegetables to the outer edges of wok or skillet and fry two eggs in the center, stirring as they cook to break them up (but don't scramble!)
  6. Mix soy sauce, Hoisin sauce, peanut butter, and black pepper in a small sauce pan and heat until melted (alternately, place in microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds at a time stirring in between until melted)
  7. Toss prepared pasta with sauce mix
  8. Drain peanuts and add to vegetable/egg mix
  9. Add noodles to vegetable mix and stir continuously until noodles are just beginning to brown.
  10. Serve with hot pepper sauce
