Egg Noodle Soup

1. Stage

Make the garlic chips: In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add garlic and spread into a single layer with minimal overlapping. Let cook until garlic begins to turn lightly golden, then begin to stir frequently to ensure even heating. Remove from heat when most garlic pieces are nicely golden, transferring the garlic to a plate and keeping the oil in the skillet.

2. Stage

Make toasty soybeans: Return skillet with oil to medium heat. Add in soybeans and peppers and stir-fry until soybeans are toasty and peppers are slightly charred. Add in soy sauce and stir to combine until warmed through. Remove from heat.

3. Stage

Make the egg noodles: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and yolks with salt and togarashi, if using. In a cast-iron or nonstick pan over medium-low heat, heat 1 teaspoon oil and use a small piece of paper towel to evenly coat the bottom of the pan with oil. Pour in just enough egg mixture to form a thin layer on the bottom of the pan, twirling the pan to ensure even coverage as the egg sets. Let cook until bottom is lightly golden, about 1 minute, then use an offset spatula to release the edge of the egg from the pan. Using your hands or a rubber spatula to help, gently flip the egg and let the second side cook until set, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer cooked egg to a plate and repeat process with remaining egg mixture.

4. Stage

Stack your sheets of cooked egg together on a cutting board, then roll into a log. Using a sharp chef's knife, cut into noodles.

5. Stage

Meanwhile, make broth: In a large pot over medium heat, add all broth ingredients and bring to a boil. Let simmer for about 5 minutes.

6. Stage

Place egg noodles into serving bowls, then ladle broth over. Top with toasty soybeans and garlic chips before serving.
