Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 oz noodles of your choice
- 4 strips thick-cut bacon cut into ½-inch pieces
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- ¼ onion finely diced
- 1 tbsp gochujang paste
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Salt to taste
Optional Garnishes
- Sesame seeds
- Parmesan
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Finely mince the garlic and dice the onion. Cut the bacon into ½-inch pieces.
- Boil your noodles one minute before al dente, then rinse and drain.
- Add the bacon to a cold pan and heat slowly over medium heat to render the fat and crisp the bacon. Once crispy, remove the bacon but leave the fat in the pan.
- In the same pan, add the onions and garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add gochujang paste and cook for 1 minute to remove some of its bitterness.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and stir for another minute until slightly thickened.
- Add the noodles and bacon back into the pan, tossing until the sauce thickens and coats every strand.
- Serve the noodles in a bowl and optionally garnish with sesame seeds, parmesan, and black pepper.
