Balaleet - Breakfast from Qatar image

I found this on someone's blog. I edited her recipe to (re) add 1TB sugar. Her comment: "I did like the play of textures with the crispy noodles and fluffy egg though. I would definitely try this recipe again, especially for a brunch with other people!"

Time 30m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup vermicelli, broken in to about 1 inch pieces or 1/2 cup cut spaghetti
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup orange juice
1 egg, omelette

Steps:

  • Boil Vermicelli about 2 minutes less than package directs. Drain then toss in to a mixing boil.
  • Immediately toss in sugar, cinnamon, ginger and mix well. The heat of the pasta will dissolve the sugar.
  • In a small non stick frying pan melt butter over medium high heat. Stir in orange juice.
  • Pour in noodle mixture and spread to flatten. Cover and turn heat down to medium low. Cook for 10-15 minutes until the liquid has absorbed and the bottom has crisped.
  • Set aside noodle cake and wipe out the frying pan. Make a one egg omelette. Cut the omelette into a few large pieces and serve on top of the noodle cake.
