Ingredients
- 200 grams Dried noodles (spaghetti, ramen, or vermicelli)
- 5 stalks Spring onions (scallions), finely chopped
- 100 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil (or vegetable oil) for frying
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Cook the dried noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool completely.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled noodles, finely chopped spring onions, crumbled feta cheese, eggs, and all-purpose flour.
Step 3
Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Using a 1/4 cup measure or your hands, scoop a portion of the noodle mixture and shape it into a patty. Flatten slightly to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Place the noodle cakes into the heated skillet, frying 3-4 at a time to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 7
Once golden, remove the noodle cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil to the skillet if needed.
Step 9
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. These noodle cakes pair beautifully with a side of yogurt dip or a simple green salad.
