"The best of both worlds. Creamy, cheesy bacon-y carbonara meets quick-cooking Japanese ramen noodles, spring onion and warming chili crisp. It’s an experimental adventure well-worth taking. For an extra umami-rich kick, use your favorite flavored instant-ramen and add a pinch of the seasoning powder to your egg mixture. Quick and easy enough for a late-night snack, yet respectable enough for a weeknight meal. You can thank me later."

  • Step 2/3

    In a small bowl, whisk eggs, pepper, soy sauce, and parmesan. Beginning in a cold pan, fry bacon over medium heat until crispy. Add spring onion whites and fry for another minute.

  • Step 3/3

    Once bacon is crispy and spring onion is softened, add cooked noodles to the pan to toss together. Add a cup of the reserved noodle water to the egg mixture, gently whisking to combine. Turn the heat off, then add egg mixture in, slowly stirring to gently combine with the noodles and bacon. The residual heat should just cook the eggs without scrambling. Add more noodle water if the sauce is too thick. Garnish with chili crisp, spring onion greens, extra black pepper, and serve.

FAQ

That’s up to you! Our version contains optional chili crisp to garnish, but you could skip it if you’d like to keep things mild. For a spicier option, you could add chili flakes, powder or oil when tossing your noodles.
