Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 packs instant ramen seasoning set aside
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • 3 strips bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1/4 cup reserved pasta water
  • 1 pinch black pepper

Method
 

  1. Cook the ramen noodles in boiling water for 3 minutes, then reserve some water and drain.
  2. Whisk the eggs with the parmesan and black pepper in a bowl.
  3. Toss the hot drained noodles with a splash of reserved water, then quickly stir in the egg mixture so it turns creamy without scrambling.
  4. Fold in the crumbled bacon and a little of the ramen seasoning to taste.
  5. Serve warm, or pack into a thermos to keep it cozy until lunch.

Notes

Work fast so the residual heat cooks the egg into a sauce, not scrambled bits.
