Ingredients
•
1 (12 ounce) package uncooked egg noodles
•
3 tablespoons olive oil
•
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
•
1/2 bunch fresh spinach, stems removed, chopped
•
1/4 cup chile paste

3 tablespoons ketchup

1/2 teaspoon white sugar

1/4 cup water

salt and pepper to taste

Directions
1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, cook the egg noodles 6 to 8 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
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.

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.
