Add in tender noodles and crisp carrots, then top with an egg fried just the way you like it, and shower with sesame seeds for a toasty, nutty crunch. Best of all, these hearty, flavorful bowls hit the table in a quick 20 minutes.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper. Trim and thinly slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!).
Once water is boiling, add noodles to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 5-7 minutes. Reserve ½ cup noodle cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain. (Keep pot handy for Step 5.)
Pat chicken or steak dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken or steak in a single layer; cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes, or until steak reaches desired doneness, 3-5 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 5-7 minutes. Stir in garlic powder and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds more (add a pinch of chili flakes from your pantry if you like things spicy). Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
Use pan used for chicken or steak here.
Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium heat. Once hot, crack two eggs (four eggs for 4 servings) into pan and cover. Fry eggs to preference. Season with salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, you may want to cook eggs in batches.)
Add cooked veggies to empty pot used for noodles. Stir in sweet soy glaze, soy sauce, ¼ tsp salt (½ tsp for 4 servings), and ⅓ cup reserved noodle cooking water (⅔ cup for 4). Add drained noodles and carrots; toss to combine, adding more reserved noodle cooking water as needed until everything is coated in a glossy sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Add half the chicken or half the steak to pot along with noodles.
Divide noodles between bowls. Top with fried eggs and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Top bowls with remaining chicken or remaining steak.
Wash hands and surfaces after handling raw eggs. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
