Carbonara 2 minute noodles
Ingredients
120g of guanciale or flat pancetta
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon of black peppercorns
3 packets of 2 minute noodles
1 egg, plus 1 egg yolk
Instructions
Bring a large saucepan of very salty water to the boil.
Cut the guanciale or pancetta into 1-2cm pieces. Place in a cold frypan with the oil then heat over medium-high heat. Cook until the fat has rendered and the guanciale is very crispy. Turn off the heat and set aside.
Crush the pepper in a mortar and pestle. Set aside.
Place the egg, egg yolk and parmesan in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook for 1 1/2 minutes then drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid.
Return guanciale to the heat and add the crushed pepper. Cook for 30 seconds then add the drained noodles and cook, tossing occasionally for a few minutes until the noodles begin to take on some colour. Add some reserved noodle water and toss to combine, then remove from the heat and cool slightly.
Add the egg mixture and toss until completely emulsified. Divide between two bowls and serve covered with extra pecorino and crushed black pepper.
Preheat oil in a wok on medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and sauté for a minute or so until onion is softened. Add the rest of the vegetables to the wok and sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Meanwhile, cook noodles to packet instructions, then drain and add to the wok. Pour in soy and oyster sauce and mix altogether.
