Equipment
Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and add your noodles, cooking them until just barely tender.
- Drain completely and toss with a light coating of oil to prevent sticking.
- Dice your vegetables, protein, and garlic into uniform, bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a plate near your cooking surface.
- Place your flat-top griddle or skillet over high heat and let it get smoking hot, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add half the butter to the griddle and immediately place your diced protein on the hot surface, letting it sear undisturbed for 30 seconds per side.
- Push the cooked protein to the outer edge of the griddle and add remaining butter to the center.
- Add your harder vegetables first (carrots, broccoli) and let them char for 2 minutes before adding softer ones like zucchini and onion.
- Push all cooked items to the sides and crack both eggs directly onto the center of the hot griddle.
- Break the yolks and let them set for 10 seconds, then scramble them constantly until cooked through, which takes about 1 minute.
- Sprinkle minced garlic and ginger over the eggs and let them sizzle for 15 seconds.
- Push all ingredients together into the center of the griddle and toss constantly for 30 seconds to combine.
- Pour your prepared noodles onto the griddle in an even layer and let them sit undisturbed for 30 seconds to develop char.
- Drizzle the sauce mixture (soy sauce, sesame oil, and mirin combined) over the noodles and chop constantly with your spatula for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Taste the noodles and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Transfer to serving plates immediately and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
