Step-by-step
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and add in 1/2 tbsp of the olive oil.
- Place in the sweet potato noodles and season with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Cook for about 6-8 minutes or until noodles have softened. The noodles will turn bright orange when they are cooked.
- Place the noodles in a bowl and crack over the egg. Stir to combine thoroughly and coat all of the noodles.
- Take out the ramekins. Place in enough noodles to pack the ramekin half-way full.
- Place a piece of wax paper over the ramekins and push in to cover the noodles. Place a can of something (tomatoes, beans, etc) and press firmly down onto the noodles.
- Place the two ramekins in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes.
- While the noodles are chilling, cook your onions. Place a skillet over medium heat, spray with cooking spray, and put in the onions, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Stir frequently until onions are translucent and soften, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside once finished.
- Make the avocado-goat cheese spread. Place in the avocado and goat cheese into a bowl and mix thoroughly until no chunks of avocado or goat cheese are left. Set aside.
- Once the noodles are done cooling, remove the can and paper. Place a large skillet over medium-low heat and add in the other tbsp of olive oil.
- Very carefully, over the skillet, turn the ramekin over and tap the bottom with one hand until the noodles come out.
- Cook (without moving) the noodle bun for about 3-4 minutes and then flip over and cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until all noodles are compact. There will be a slight char on both sides.
- While the bun is cooking, place your tomato on a skillet with cooking spray and sear it for about 1 minute and flip over and cook for another 30 seconds. Set aside.
- Place one bun on the bottom and smear with avo-goat cheese spread. On top, place the kale, then onions, then tomato.
- Smear more of the spread on the bottom of the other bun and place on top.
- Use a toothpick to secure the sandwich and enjoy!
