Ingredients

Yields: 1
  • 2 strips thick bacon/guanciale
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 25 g parmesan or pecorino cheese - grated, plus more for garnish
  • 2 g freshly ground black pepper - plus more for garnish
  • 1 pack Instant ramen

Method

  • Slice the bacon into little cubes (~1cm thick). Then, put the bacon into a frying pan, and place over medium-low heat to cook for 10 minutes, until brown and crispy. The bacon will slowly render out its fat and crisp up itself. Save both the bacon and the bacon fat for later.
  • In a large bowl, combine the egg, egg yolk, grated parmesan, and ground black pepper. Stir everything together into a sloppy sauce.
  • Cook the instant noodles according to the packet instructions. (They usually take 2-3 minutes in boiling water.) When the noodles are done, scoop it out of the water and put it into the bowl with the egg-cheese mixture. Immediately toss and mix the noodles in the sauce with tongs or chopsticks. This will cook and thicken the sauce and coat each strand of noodle. Add in a tablespoon of the bacon fat, along with all of the crispy bacon cubes, and give it a final mix.
  • Serve immediately, and garnish with some more grated parmesan and ground black pepper on top. Enjoy!
