For all those who want to make this kugel properly, here is how to do it:

1) Bring pot of water to a boil.
2) Add sugar and oil to pot and turn on LOW heat. Stir every 30 seconds or so.
3) Add noodles to water.

• At some point the sugar will start to clump up and begin to caramelize and turn brown.

4) When sugar starts to turn slightly lightish brown, remove noodles from fire and drain.
5) Before noodles can even begin to cool add the oil sugar mixture to noodles in a large mixing bowl (hard excess sugar will come off pot with hot water and a little agitation).

• The timing is hard to get right and you might burn the sugar on your first [few] attempts.

6) Add salt and pepper.
7) When noodles have cooled significantly add eggs. If noodles are too hot, eggs will begin to cook.
8) Mix. Pour into pan and bake.
