....is Veggie Rice Noodle & Fried Egg

There's an amazing asian market near my house, with wonderful (and incredibly cheap) produce. Last time I was there the Grapefruits were sweet, tangy and 10 for $1.00! The purple sweet potato was my most recent and unusual find. It's a beautiful deep purple on the outside with a surprising cream colored inside, it's texture and flavor is similar to yams or yellow sweet potatoes. With the skin on I think it would be a lovely in a homefry medley baked with Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper & Red Chili flakes (to add a little heat). My homefry idea will have to wait for another day because I wanted to use some rice noodles I discovered in the market. Here's the concoction I came up with!

Serves 6

Package of Rice Noodles

1 Onion, Thinly Sliced

1 inch Ginger, Minced

2 Cloves of Garlic, Minced

1 Purple Sweet Potato, Cut into Matchstick

2-4 Tbsp of White Wine

1/3 Cup Chicken Broth

1/2 Zucchini, Cut into Matchstick

6 Pieces of Bacon

6 Eggs, Fried Over Easy

Boil water and cook noodles per package directions, about 7 minutes.

Sauté Onions in Olive Oil on medium heat until soft and translucent. Add Ginger & Garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes more. Deglaze the pan with white wine. Place the Sweet Potatoes in the pan, pour in broth and cover, allowing Sweet Potatoes to steam, about 5 minutes or until soft (but not mushy). Uncover to mix in Zucchini and Rice Noodles. Top with Bacon & a Fried Egg.

Happy Baking!
