MAKES 2 BUN HALVES

Two 3/4‐cup (175 mL) ramekins, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray

Ingredients

• 1 medium to large sweet potato, peeled and ends cut flat
• 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
• 1 large egg
• pinch of kosher salt
• pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Using a spiralizer, cut the sweet potato into thin strands.

In a large skillet, heat 1/2 teaspoon oil over medium heat. Add sweet potato and cook, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes or until softened. Let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.

In a medium bowl, whisk egg. Stir in sweet potato, salt and pepper. Divide between prepared ramekins, filling each about halfway and pressing the sweet potato down into the ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and place a heavy can or jar on top of the wrap to weigh down the sweet potato. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Lightly coat a skillet with the remaining oil and heat over medium‐high heat. Remove plastic wrap and invert ramekins to slide noodle buns onto skillet. Cook, turning once, for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until golden brown on both sides and hot in the center.

Tip

Store cooked noodle buns, wrapped individually in plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Or prepare through step 3, then refrigerate for up to 24 hours before cooking.

Variation

Instead of the sweet potatoes, you can use russet potatoes, rutabagas or kohlrabi. Cook each of these for 5 to 7 minutes or until softened.
