Cuisine: Japanese
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 packs of instant ramen noodles
- 4 cups water
- 4 slices of bacon
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 cup chopped scallions
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by slicing scallions, cutting bacon into small pieces, and having eggs ready.
- In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy and golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Remove bacon and set aside on paper towels to drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet with bacon fat, crack eggs and fry them sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes.
- In a separate pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil. Add instant ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes.
- Drain most of the water from the noodles, leaving just a small amount to create a light broth. Stir in soy sauce to enhance the flavor.
- Transfer the cooked noodles to serving bowls. Top with crispy bacon pieces, fried eggs, and sprinkle chopped scallions over the top.
- Serve immediately while hot, allowing the egg yolk to mix with the noodles for added richness and flavor.
Tips
- Bacon Perfection: For extra crispy bacon, start with a cold skillet and cook slowly. This helps render the fat more evenly and creates that perfect golden-brown crunch.
- Egg Mastery: For the ultimate runny yolk, use fresh eggs and cook them on medium-low heat. The yolk should be soft and ready to mix into the noodles for an extra creamy texture.
- Flavor Boost: Don't discard the bacon fat! Using the same skillet to cook your eggs and fry the noodles adds an incredible depth of flavor to your dish.
- Customization is Key: Feel free to experiment with additional toppings like a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, a dash of sesame oil, or even a slice of cheese for extra indulgence.
- Timing Matters: Have all your ingredients prepped before you start cooking. This dish comes together quickly, so being prepared ensures a perfect meal every time.Pro Tip: For an even more authentic ramen experience, consider adding a soft-boiled egg instead of a fried egg, or garnish with some nori (seaweed) flakes for an extra Japanese touch!
