Main Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 package instant ramen curly flash-fried type
- 1 slice bacon
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
- Black pepper to taste
- Scallion greens for garnish
Instructions
- Boil ramen and bacon: Add the water, ramen, and bacon to a pot just big enough to hold the noodles. Bring the mixture to a boil, allowing the bacon to cook and infuse flavor into the broth.
- Break and cook noodles: Flip the brick of noodles over a few times in the pot until it starts to break apart. Stir continuously to separate the noodles until no clumps remain. Then, turn off the heat and let the noodles rest for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to finish cooking and soften.
- Prepare the sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, Parmesan cheese, and several cracks of black pepper until smooth and combined.
- Combine noodles with sauce: Pour the pot’s contents, including noodles, bacon, and any broth, into the bowl with the egg yolk mixture. Stir thoroughly and quickly to coat the noodles evenly with the creamy sauce without scrambling the egg.
- Serve and garnish: Plate the ramen carbonara and top with additional Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and a sprinkle of chopped scallion greens for freshness and a pop of color.
Notes
- Use freshly cracked black pepper for the best flavor.
- To avoid scrambling the egg yolk, stir quickly and off the heat when mixing it with the hot noodles.
- For a richer flavor, try using pancetta instead of bacon.
- Feel free to add a splash of pasta water or ramen broth if the sauce feels too thick.
- Serve immediately as the sauce thickens and sets as it cools.
