Ingredients

8 ounces Linguini fettuccini or thick spaghetti pasta

Sauce

3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
4 teaspoons lime or lemon juice

Additional ingredients

3 to 5 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
2 medium carrots julienned
3 cups shredded cabbage
½ medium onion sliced
3 large garlic cloves finely chopped
1 to 2 tablespoons red pepper flakes depending on your spice level
4 eggs
4 scallions cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup roasted cashews chopped

Instructions

Cook pasta according to package instructions and drain. While pasta is cooking, prep all other ingredients.
Make Sauce - Stir all sauce ingredients in a medium bowl until sugar is dissolved.
Make Noodles - Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons oil in a large saute pan or wok over high heat . When hot, add carrots, cabbage and onion, stir fry for about 2 minutes, until vegetables are partially cooked.
Add chopped garlic and red pepper flakes, continue cooking for additional 2 to 3 minutes, until vegetables are cooked.
Reduce heat to medium, move vegetables to the sides of the pan, leaving some empty space in the middle. Add additional 1 tablespoon oil in the middle and add all four eggs. Cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until eggs begin to set. Mix along with all vegetables.
Stir in cooked pasta, sauce (stir once before adding), scallions and chopped cashews. Cook for one to two minutes, stirring constantly, until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and all sauce is evaporated.

Notes

Roasted unsalted peanuts can be used instead of cashews.

Do not use salted or sweetened cashews.

Do not reduce eggs or cashews for the best flavor.

Adjust red pepper flakes according to your spice level. We recommend 1 to 2 tablespoons. We used 1 tablespoon when serving for the kids and amped up to 2 tablespoons for my husband and I. Make it at home and you can control the heat.

Any kind of long pasta like thick or regular spaghetti, fettuccine or linguine is good. We recommend staying away from angel hair pasta, since it does not hold well along with all the ingredients.

Can I add more protein?

Absolutely! There are 4 eggs in the recipe which gives enough protein, however if you like more, then we recommend thinly sliced chicken breast, shrimp or tofu.

How to roast cashews in oven?

Pre heat oven to 350°F, add cashews to a baking sheet and spread around so it is in a single layer. Bake for 12 to 18 minutes, until golden in color. Watch carefully during the last few minutes, since cashews turn to darken very easily. Place sheet pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
