Ingredients

• Spaghetti or fettuccine - 200 grams
• Eggs - 4 large
• Milk - 100 ml
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2, finely chopped
• Carrot - 1 small, julienned
• Zucchini - 1 small, julienned
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
• Red chili flakes - 1/2 teaspoon (optional)

Steps

1. Cook the spaghetti or fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
