In the largest pot you own that will fit in a cabinet, boil a bunch of
water with a glug of vegetable oil and a large pinch of salt, and toss in
the contents of a large package of medium or broad egg noodles.
- Chop fine a large handful of fresh cilantro leaves, discarding stems
-- mmm, doesn't that smell good?
- Grate or chop some cheese, enough to loosely fill a cereal bowl. I
used an otherwise unidentified "farmer's cheese," which was quite tasty.
- Slice a yellow or red bell pepper (I prefer them to green, but even
green would be fine) into thin segments.
- A carrot can't hurt -- slice it thin on the diagonal to make some
quickly-cooked ovals, and toss it in for a few minutes at the end of the
noodle's cooking time
- whip together 2 or 3 eggs, cook them into a nice yellow disk in a
heated pan, then remove and slice into strips.
- When the noodles are cooked to your taste, and better a smidgeon
beforehand, drain them thoroughly and return to pot.
- Toss in 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt -- it's good to strain this
first to reduce the water content -- and all the other ingredients. Stir
quickly, so the cheese melts throughout, the chopped cilantro cooks, and
the pepper is well-spread.
- Grind on some white pepper. If you like things spicy, pop in some
Garlic-Chili sauce, or Old Bay,
or a spicy curry sauce ...
- Sprinkle in some dill weed.
- Enjoy your yogurt-cheese-dill-cilantro-egg-pepper noodles.
