Description
-
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Spread cauliflower and garlic on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Roast until the cauliflower and garlic are golden, 18 to 20 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, bring a large pot or Dutch oven of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
-
Meanwhile, whisk soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, fish sauce and sambal oelek together in a small bowl.
-
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the large pot (or Dutch oven) over medium-low heat. Add eggs, half of the scallions, serrano (or jalapeño) and the remaining pinch of salt. Cook, stirring to scramble, until the eggs are mostly cooked through, about 1 minute.
-
Add the noodles and the reserved sauce. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring, until well combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the roasted cauliflower and garlic. Top with sesame seeds, the remaining scallions and cilantro.
