Ingredients for four people

Onions: two

Aush noodles: 300 grams

Eggs: four

Salt, pepper, turmeric, and oil: as per taste

To make your food taste better, use sesame oil or natural sheep tail fat. Using industrial oils reduces the nutritional value of Soghan Suei.

If you like the taste of onions, you can use three onions instead of two. Onion is one of the main cooking ingredients in many Iranian dishes. Using onion in food gives it antioxidant properties.

Recipe

Chop the onions into small pieces. Put the pot, you intend to cook in, on the stove and pour oil into it. If you are using tail fat, cover the pot for a while and reduce the flame so that it turns into oil. When the oil gets a little hot, put the chopped onions in it and fry them.

Once the onion turns golden, add three to five glasses of water, depending upon your own taste. While some may like it to be more watery others may like it thick and with less water.

After adding water, wait for a while until the water boils. At this stage, it is time to add the noodles. After five minutes, add the eggs that you have already beaten in a separate container and mixed the yolk and white together well, to the water. Add salt, pepper, and turmeric to the mixture and let it cook well. Of course, because noodles cook quickly, it does not take more than 10 minutes for the food to settle down.

You can add some aromatic vegetables like coriander to Soghan Suei. If you like to use these vegetables, it is better to put them in the pot a few minutes before the food is ready. You can also use the vegetables for decoration when serving the food instead of pouring them into it while cooking.
