Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Pour oil and eggs into the pan
    Eggs being poured into the oiled compartments of a multi-cup frying pan.

    Spray oil evenly across the compartments of a multi-cup pan, then pour beaten eggs into each section.

    Tip: Ensure the oil coats the entire surface of each cup to prevent sticking.
  2. 2Add fillings into the eggs
    Shrimp, ham, minced meat, and corn toppings added over the egg mixture in the pan.

    Distribute shrimp, ham pieces, minced meat, and corn into the beaten eggs cooking in each pan compartment.

    Tip: Spread the fillings evenly so every portion has a balanced mix.
  3. 3Remove cooked egg patties
    Round cooked egg patties being transferred from the pan to a white serving plate.

    Flip the egg patties until fully cooked, then carefully lift them out of the pan and place them onto a plate.

    Tip: Use a flexible spatula to lift the patties smoothly without breaking them.
  4. 4Pour the batter
    Liquid batter being poured into the empty sections of the cooking pan.

    Pour fresh liquid batter directly into the pan compartments to form the base and outer layer of the burgers.

    Tip: Keep the heat low so the batter does not burn before assembly.
  5. 5Assemble the egg patties onto batter
    Pre-cooked egg patties being placed over the liquid batter in the pan compartments.

    Place the pre-cooked egg patties directly on top of the freshly poured liquid batter in the pan.

    Tip: Press down gently so the patties adhere well to the liquid batter layer.
  6. 6Add Ketchup and Sesame Seeds

    Squeeze ketchup evenly across the top surface of the cooked round egg burger bun and sprinkle white sesame seeds over it to enhance the flavor and appearance.

    Tip: Spread the ketchup evenly so every bite has a balanced flavor.
  7. 7Arrange Fire Chicken Noodles

    Use chopsticks to stir and neatly arrange the cooked fire chicken noodles into one section of a rectangular divided pan.

    Tip: Keep the noodles compact so they form an even layer for the upcoming ingredients.
  8. 8Pour Egg Liquid Over Noodles
    Bright yellow egg liquid pouring from a small ladle onto the red noodles in the pan.

    Pour fresh beaten yellow egg liquid directly over the fire chicken noodles in the pan to bind them together.

    Tip: Pour slowly and evenly to ensure all the noodles are coated with the egg mixture.
  9. 9Layer Cheese, Ham, and Sausage
    Cheese and ham slices being arranged on top of the noodle base using metal tongs.

    Place slices of yellow cheese, round slices of ham, and a prepared sausage on top of the noodle and egg mixture in the pan.

    Tip: Layer the ingredients neatly to make rolling easier later.
  10. 10Roll the Noodle Omelet

    Carefully use a pink spatula to roll up the noodle mixture containing the cheese, ham, and sausage inside the pan.

    Tip: Roll it gently while warm so it holds its shape tightly.
  11. 11Brown the Chicken Wings
    Raw chicken wings being placed onto a ribbed grill pan with oil using tongs.

    Use metal tongs to place raw chicken wings onto a hot, greased grill pan. Sear them until both sides develop a rich golden-brown color.

    Tip: Ensure the pan is well-greased and heated before adding the wings to prevent sticking.
  12. 12Braise Wings in Cola
    Cola and soy sauce being poured from a red can over golden chicken wings sizzling in a black grill pan.

    Pour a small bottle of cola and two spoonfuls of light soy sauce directly over the browned wings. Cover and simmer to tenderize the meat, then uncover and increase the heat to reduce the liquid into a sticky, glossy glaze.

    Tip: Simmering on medium heat first helps cook the wings through before turning up the heat to thicken the cola glaze.

Frequently Asked Questions

A multi-cup pan is highly recommended to get the perfect round shape and even layers, but you can use English muffin rings in a standard skillet if needed.
A simple savory pancake or crepe batter works best. It acts as the bun that binds the egg and meat patty together.
Make sure your pan is well-oiled and heated before pouring the egg. Roll it while the top layer of the egg is still slightly wet so it seals together smoothly.
