Continue cooking over high heat 2-3 min until the sauce has incorporated into the noodles (test noodles for doneness).

Step 5

Push noodles aside and add a bit of oil. Add 2 eggs and scramble until 90% done, then mix together with noodles. Add scallions, bean sprouts and chopped peanuts and mix. Serve with more bean sprouts, chopped peanuts, lime, and chili pepper and enjoy!
