YERUSHALMI KUGEL
A specialty of Jerusalem, this dark, dense kugel is bound by eggs and caramel, and sharpened with loads of black pepper. In this recipe, adapted from the cookbook author Adeena Sussman, the edges crisp as it bakes, providing a crunchy contrast to the soft, springy noodles inside. Don't stray from the pan while the sugar is caramelizing, or it may burn in spots. Serve it in wedges, either warm or at room temperature. Leftover Yerushalmi kugel will keep for at least five days in the fridge, and reheats well in a 350-degree oven.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook noodles according to package instructions. Rinse and drain well. Return to pot and toss with 1 tablespoon oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- In a heavy skillet, combine sugar and 1/2 cup oil over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts and turns amber brown, but not burned, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Working quickly, pour the caramelized sugar over the cooked noodles and stir to combine. (Don't scrape the skillet.) The caramel will probably clump in places when it hits the noodles, and that is OK. It will melt as the kugel bakes. Let noodle mixture cool until warm, about 10 minutes.
- Add eggs and 2 1/4 teaspoons each salt and pepper to noodles. Stir to incorporate.
- In a 6-quart oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high until very hot, but not smoking. Scrape egg-noodle mixture into the pot and smooth it into an even layer.
- Bake, uncovered, until kugel is dark golden and the top is slightly hardened and crusty, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours.
- Transfer pot to a rack to cool for 30 minutes. Run a butter knife or offset spatula along the edges to loosen the kugel. Invert kugel onto the rack, then invert it again onto a serving platter so that the top - and lighter side - of the kugel faces up. Serve while still warm or at room temperature.
RICE KRISPIES KUGEL
This is one of my daughter Didi's favorite kugels. She's a cereal freak, loves anything made out of cereal. What's really great about this kugel is that no one will think that it's been made out of Snap, Crackle and Pop (may they rest in peace).

SWEET NOODLE KUGEL
This is the style of kugel we'd get in a New York City area Jewish deli, and that my relatives would make for holidays. There seems to be endless variations of this noodle pudding now, but for me this is the authentic original version. Refrigerate leftovers.

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect texture for your rice kugel, it's crucial to use short-grain rice. This type of rice has a higher starch content, which helps bind the ingredients together and results in a firm yet tender kugel.
- Before cooking the rice, rinse it thoroughly under cold water to remove any excess starch. This will prevent the rice from becoming gummy and help it maintain its individual grains.
- When adding the eggs and other ingredients to the cooked rice, do so gently to avoid breaking up the rice grains. It's best to use a spatula or wooden spoon rather than a whisk.
- To achieve a golden brown crust on top of your rice kugel, sprinkle some bread crumbs or panko breadcrumbs on top before baking. You can also add a drizzle of melted butter for extra richness.
- Rice kugel can be served as a main course or a side dish. It pairs well with a variety of meats, such as roasted chicken, beef brisket, or salmon. It can also be served with vegetables or a simple green salad.
Conclusion:
Rice kugel is a versatile and comforting dish enjoyed by people of all ages. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, it's a great recipe for both novice and experienced cooks. Whether you're looking for a hearty main course or a delicious side dish, rice kugel is sure to satisfy.
