Author Notes
My Dad tells me that his grandmother used to make her own pasta, and that she would fry egg noodles regularly. His mother (my grandmother) passed down the tradition, and I grew up eating fried noodles. As kids, my sisters and I would request them; as an adult, I make them probably more often than I should. They are crispy and crunchy and quite easy and delicious, and my Dad said I could post this here. :) Note: this recipe is infinitely expandable. Don't expect to have leftovers.
Also, the noodles must be cooked al dente or they won't crisp. —Jennifer St Clair
