RAMEN CARBONARA RECIPE BY TASTY



Ramen Carbonara Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: egg, egg yolk, parmesan cheese, ground pepper, bacon, instant ramen, extra virgin olive oil

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Dinner

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 egg
1 egg yolk
⅓ cup parmesan cheese
ground pepper, to taste
2 strips bacon, sliced crosswise into half-inch strips.
1 pack instant ramen
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, add one whole egg, one egg yolk, parmesan cheese, and pepper to taste. Whisk with fork until well combined.
  • Cut two strips of bacon crosswise into half-inch strips. Fry until cooked but not yet crispy.
  • Boil water and cook ramen very al dente, or just until it can be loosened from it's block form.
  • Add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to the bacon and stir, lifting any bacon bits that are stuck to the pan. Once the oil is hot, remove the pan from heat.
  • Pour a small amount of the water the ramen was cooked in and stir. Add the ramen noodles and stir some more, coating the noodles in the bacon/olive oil mixture.
  • Next, add the egg mixture, making sure to pour it onto the noodles and not straight onto the pan. Stir vigorously. The heat from the pan and ingredients need to turn the egg mixture into a creamy sauce. But, if the eggs get too hot they will cook too much and become scrabbled eggs. Add additional ramen water as needed to create a smooth but creamy sauce.
  • Plate and top with additional parmesan cheese and pepper.
  • Enjoy!

RAMEN CARBONARA



Ramen Carbonara image

If you have bacon, eggs and a pack of ramen noodles in the pantry, this quick dinner (or breakfast or lunch) comes together in a snap. The strategy: Cook the noodles in a Parmesan-rich broth in the same pan you use to cook the bacon. The clever cook who invented this is the novelist Stacey Ballis, a regular contributor to the breakfast blog Extra Crispy. Since ramen noodles are parcooked, they quickly soften and soak up the broth. (Stirring in eggs thickens it into a sauce.) If you use pancetta and good Parmesan, it tastes surprisingly like the Roman original. But it is always delicious and filling, and even more unctuous if you add a runny fried egg on top.

Categories     dinner, weekday, noodles, main course

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 to 8 slices bacon or pancetta, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips or lardons (4 to 6 ounces)
2 cups boiling water
3 tablespoons butter, plus more for frying eggs
1 cup grated Parmesan or pecorino, or a combination (about 4 ounces)
2 (3-ounce) packages ramen noodles (noodle blocks only; discard the seasoning packs)
2 eggs, whisked together until smooth
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 whole eggs, at room temperature

Steps:

  • In a large skillet (preferably nonstick), cook bacon over medium heat until fat is rendered and meat is cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent scorching. When bacon is cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a paper-towel-lined plate. Set aside.
  • Pour off the extra bacon fat in the pan, leaving behind any browned bits stuck on the bottom. Return pan to medium-high heat and add boiling water, butter and half the cheese. Stir, scraping up bacon bits, and bring to a boil. Add noodle blocks and boil, gently separating the strands as they soften, until noodles are almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. The noodles will absorb some of the liquid, and there will be a thick broth in the pan. Keep the heat high; you want most of the liquid to evaporate.
  • Reduce heat to low. Add whisked eggs, stir into noodles very well, and cook, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom of the pan, about 1 minute. The sauce should remain quite runny; the eggs will continue to cook after you remove them from the heat. Mix in cooked bacon, remaining cheese and plenty of black pepper and immediately remove from the heat.
  • Scrape mixture into 2 large serving bowls. If not making fried eggs, serve immediately, grinding pepper over the top of each bowl.
  • If making fried eggs, cover the noodle bowls to keep them warm. Return empty pan to medium heat, add a lump of butter, and swirl until melted and foaming. Crack the eggs into the pan and fry until yolks are just set and edges are brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to noodle bowls, grind on more pepper, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pasta - it should be al dente, with a slight bite to it.
  • Reserve some of the pasta cooking water to thin out the sauce, if needed.
  • Add the beaten egg yolk to the hot pasta and bacon mixture slowly, stirring constantly to prevent it from curdling.
  • Serve the ramen carbonara immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper.

Conclusion:

Ramen carbonara is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. It's a delicious and versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Whether you like your carbonara classic or with a twist, this recipe is sure to hit the spot.
