Description
These spicy sriracha noodles (Dragon Noodles) are a quick, satisfying dish made with angel hair pasta, scrambled eggs, and a sweet-spicy sauce of sriracha, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Perfect for a fast main meal or flavorful side.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces angel hair pasta
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced (optional garnish)
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse lightly with warm water. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until fully blended. In another bowl, stir together the brown sugar, soy sauce, and sriracha sauce until smooth.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes.
- Pour the eggs into the skillet and gently stir until they are softly scrambled and fully cooked.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine with the eggs.
- Pour in the prepared sauce and stir continuously for 2–3 minutes until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
- Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onion and chopped cilantro, if using. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Reduce or omit crushed red pepper flakes for a milder version.
- Any long or thin pasta like spaghetti or rice noodles can be substituted for angel hair.
- Use honey or hot honey instead of brown sugar for a different flavor.
- Minced garlic or grated ginger adds extra depth to the dish.
- Top with sesame seeds for added crunch and aroma.
