Turn on a 190 degree oven. Line a 26-inch Jahlon pot with baking paper and set aside.

In a wide saucepan over medium flame, boil about 3 liters of water. When the water is boiling, put the noodles in the pot and cook for 6 minutes. After 6 minutes, transfer the noodles to the strainer to filter the liquid and set aside.

In a medium bowl, mix 200 grams of sugar (1 cup) and 4 L-sized eggs for a uniform batter and set aside.

In a large saucepan over medium flame, combine 300 grams of sugar and 140 grams of oil. Mix with a wooden spoon and caramelize the sugar until you get an amber hue. Gradually add the noodles while stirring until they are fully coated with oil and caramel.

Add the batter of sugar and eggs, a spoonful of cinnamon, a tablespoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of black pepper. Mix well.

Transfer to the Jahlon pot, cover with lid, and bake for 60 minutes. After 60 minutes, remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Slice the kugel after it reaches almost room temperature.
