Mix medium and fine egg noodles together in a bowl.

Add salt, black pepper, white pepper, and a pinch of sugar to the noodles; mix well.

Taste the mixture to check seasoning.

Add eggs to the noodle mixture and combine thoroughly.

Preheat oil in a 9-inch stainless steel frying pan over medium heat.

Pour the noodle mixture into the hot oil, spreading it evenly.

Cover the pan and cook for 20-25 minutes until the edges start browning.

Check for crispiness; if browned, prepare to flip the kugel.

Use a plate larger than the pan to flip the kugel; place the plate over the pan and invert it to flip.

Return the kugel to the pan to cook the other side without covering it.

Cook for an additional 15 minutes on medium-low heat until crispy.

Remove from heat and cut a slice to serve.
