Ingredients
| Ingredients | Quantity |
| Thin Egg Noodles | 2 packages |
| Oil | 2/3 cup |
| Eggs | 4 |
| Sugar | 3 cups |
| Black Pepper | 2 tbsp |
| Kosher Salt | 1 tbsp |
METHOD:
- First, in a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the noodles and drain well, toss with 1 tbsp vegetable oil to prevent sticking, return to the pot, and reserve.
- Then in a medium pan combine the 2/3 cup oil with the sugar then cook over medium-low heat, making sure to watch for any signs of burning.
Now dump the caramel into the noodles and stir, noticing how parts of the caramel harden immediately. - Now do not freak out, turn simply the flame onto medium-low and warm the noodles, stirring, until the caramel dissolves, about 10-12 minutes.
Then remove it from heat and cool it to room temperature. Then preheat the oven to 375°F. and stir in the eggs, salt, and pepper. Now in a 5 or 6-quart stockpot, heat the remaining 4 tbsp oil until very hot but not smoking. - Then add the egg-noodle mixture, do not stir, and let it cook on the stovetop, noting how the edges begin to darken, for 7-8 minutes.
Then transfer to the oven and bake until the top is slightly hardened, for about 1 hour. - Now cool for 30 minutes, invert onto a serving platter, and either serve immediately or allow to cool completely. If you wait, the outer shell of the kugel will be chewy-crunchy.
