Ingredients
  

  • 4 sheets udon noodles Available at most Asian markets
  • 4 strips thick sliced bacon, chopped into 1/4" slices or 5-6 slices of regular bacon
  • 1 tbsp garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup reserved udon pasta water
  • togarashi seasoning to garnish *optional
  • sliced nori strips to garnish *optional

Egg Sauce

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tbso miso paste
  • salt & pepper to season
  • 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated

Instructions
 

  • Combine all the ingredients for your egg sauce into a medium bowl. Use a small whisk to ensure everything is evenly combined and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook your udon noodles for about 1 minute. Reserve about 1/2 cup of udon water and drain your noodles.
  • Heat a large skillet on medium heat and cook your bacon. Once the bacon starts to crisp, add garlic and saute for just a minute until the garlic is golden.
  • Add in the cooked udon noodles and mix. Reduce the heat to low and add egg sauce. Mix continuously to ensure the eggs don't scramble and a creamy sauce develops. Keep mixing until the noodles are well coated with the egg sauce.
  • Top each bowl of noodles with more Parmigiano-Reggiano and garnish with togarashi seasoning and nori strips (*optional).
