Ingredients
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, red pepper, and ground ginger; set aside.
- In a large nonstick skillet, over medium heat, heat 1 teaspoon of margarine until bubbly.
- Add egg beaters and gently scramble until cooked; remove to another small bowl.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a dash of sesame oil or some chopped peanuts as a garnish. If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute egg beaters with tofu and use vegetable broth instead of soy sauce for a lighter taste. You can also use rice noodles if linguine isn't available, which will give a different texture and absorb the sauce beautifully.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Thai-style noodles with a sprinkle of chopped green onions and additional red pepper flakes for extra heat. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh cucumber salad or a light soup. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a refreshing Hawaiian Dip And Fruit for a delightful contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, add a splash of water or broth to the skillet and heat over medium-low, stirring until warmed through. This will help prevent the noodles from drying out and keep the dish flavorful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use another type of noodle for this recipe?
Absolutely! While linguine is used here, any type of noodle such as rice noodles or even whole wheat pasta can work well. Just remember to adjust the cooking time as needed, especially with rice noodles to achieve the perfect texture.
What can I substitute for egg beaters?
If you're looking for an egg alternative, consider using silken tofu that has been blended until smooth or a commercial egg replacer. These options will still give you a nice texture without compromising the overall flavor of the dish.
How can I make this dish spicier?
To add more heat, you can increase the amount of red pepper in the sauce or add a dash of Sriracha or chili flakes. Additionally, incorporating sliced fresh chili peppers while cooking can enhance the spiciness and freshness of the dish.
