Let the noodles cool to lukewarm (or rinse them in cold water to force them to cool)before adding the eggs. Adding eggs to hot noodles immediately cooks them, just like egg-drop soup.

that's the hardest kugel to make IMO

You have to be careful when making the caramel. Heat the sugar with the oil and watch it. In my experience (I make it every two weeks - one for the week and one for the freezer), it takes around 10-15 minutes for the sugar to properly dissolve in the oil and for the caramel to gain it's golden/tan color. Don't let it go past a deep tan. Then, pour it over the cooked noodles. One recipe I have says to toss noodles in 2 Tbsp. oil when you are cooling them. I put the noodles into the pan with the caramel after taking it off the flame. This serves to coat the noodles entirely and not leave chunks of sugar behind.
It's not a hard kugel once you are used to making it and it's always well received.

I have an amazing fool proof recipe. If you know how to caramelize the sugar, then you’re already a pro! The gist of it is: Put up 6 cups of water to boil. Then, Caramelize the sugar. Add in the boiling water, then the noodles and turn the heat down to medium. Allow to cool thoroughly then add 4 eggs, oil (forgot how much) 2 teaspoons salt, ¾ teaspoon black pepper. Foolproof! I make it in huge batches and freeze it raw.

okay, I posted a recipe for yerushalmi kugel that will beat all of the above tips and will make cm think it is the EASIEST kugel to make. it takes only one pot! and is basically fail proof. off to find that thread now.

couldn't find that thread (there should be laws about posting in the wrong section Twisted Evil

). here's the recipe:

brown:
3/4 c oil
1 c sugar
over med/low heat till dark brown.

add:
6 of the 7 oz cups water (weird, but that's how my mil told it to me and that's how I do it)
bring to a boil.

then add:
1 package thin lokshen
salt and pepper to taste

cook until water is almost all absorbed, stirring so you don't get a thick layer on the bottom of the pot

remove from flame and add:
2 beaten eggs
mix well with lokshen

transer to baking pan

bake at 350 for about 1 hour.

presto!!! amazing yerushalmi kugel - your israeli guests will beg for more (mine do)

the best yerushalmi kugel is the one from the kosher palette it only takes one pot an no caramelizing involved. its the easiest recipe I found so far. if you want the recepi let me know I will post it for you

Squash, the only difference between my recipe and yours is that mine requires you to add BOILING water. And I find that to be helpful because it immediately stops the caramelizing which can burn fast, and then the noodles only cook for about 5 minutes, that’s all !

Just made the kugel from teh kosher by design and HAD to have a slice while it was hot out of the oven. It was simple to make, and very delicious. I personally would lower the sugar from a full cup to half or three quarters, but definitely a make again dish!
