Start with the frozen broccoli and heat them up in boiling water for a little while, remove the broccoli from the water when they are barely frozen, save the broccoli water for later.

Prepare the aromatics, chop garlic, ginger and onion and set aside.
Prepare the vegetables, cut the broccoli, long beans and red bell pepper set aside.
Prepare the stir fry sauce, mix golden mountain sauce, unrefined sugar, chili flakes and sesame oil.

Before doing anything in the pan, toast some sesame seeds, set aside.
Take the ramen and put it in the broccoli water along with the flavor packet and set to boil, turn it to low when it starts to boil.

Have some olive oil and sesame oil in a heated pan and saute the aromatics until soft, add the vegetables after that. Keep cooking for a bit until the vegetables starts to get a bit soft.
You can add a bit of the ramen water to add some taste and moisture to the vegetables.

Now you add the ramen to the vegetables, stir and add the sauce you made, add some of the ramen water to the container you had the sauce to get more of it from the sides.
Add the toasted sesame seeds, stir until the stir-fry gets drier.
Plate it.

Then take an egg, and fry it sunny-side up with a crispy bottom, put that on top, some salt on top.

Then garnish with some chili flakes and dried chili threads.

And it was tasty as fuck. Especially when you break the yolk and mix it with the rest of the dish oh man!!

Looks nasty

Oh btw, if you use the store brand sriracha, Rooster one whatever, you might have to add a touch of rice vinegar to the stir-fry sauce since my home made is kinda tart from start.

Looks great, excellent presentation

I wish I had some fresh herbs too to garnish with (and use in cooking), would've been nice with some green onion, thai basil and/or cilantro.

Never seen it, quick read from a wiki says it's chefs contending. I have better shot at Master Chef since...they are amateur cooks. But I'd never go on TV anyway, besides it's nothing like what we see anyway

good night bumop

Looks good, but the egg is undercooked for my taste.
---

That looks really good.

Tasty!

Undercooked? It's perfectly sunny-side up. Without the yolk this dish is not the same.

And it has a nice crisp on the bottom

You still don't call it undercooked.

Tbh the yolk is a vital part of the dish for me so I dunno.

Even if I was improvising I had a thought and plan for every element on how they would work together in the dish and it worked better than I thought. So no, I didn't just throw a bunch of things together, I used whatever I found at home to make this dish work.

Looks really good. Where the fuck's mine?

I made the dish again but took inspiration of @legolas0008 way of taking pics



It's the same dish but had some carrot in it too with the aromatics, some red chili and yellow bell pepper instead of red with the vegetables.

For presentation I broke the egg and mixed it around.
