Ingredients
Method
- Cook the Buldak Spicy Chicken Ramen noodles according to the package instructions, using 2 cups of water. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and egg yolk until smooth. Set this carbonara sauce mixture aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the unsalted butter until melted.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss well to coat them in the garlic-butter mixture.
- Add the carbonara sauce to the noodles, stirring quickly to combine. If the sauce seems thick, add the reserved noodle cooking water a little at a time to achieve your desired consistency.
- Sprinkle the Buldak ramen's spicy seasoning packet over the noodles and mix well to evenly distribute the flavor.
- Stir in the cooked bacon, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
For a milder version, use less of the Buldak spicy seasoning packet. You can substitute pancetta for bacon if desired.
