Upgraded Instant Noodle Recipes

Ingredients

• 4 slices Thick Cut Bacon (about 100 g, cut into 1‑inch pieces)
• 2 tablespoons Water (for the cold‑pan start to prevent splatter)
• 2 pieces Large Eggs (sunny‑side‑up, cooked in bacon fat)
• 2 packs Indomie Instant Ramen (any flavor) (85 g each; keep seasoning packets separate)
• 2 links Beef Franks (hot dog style sausage) (sliced diagonally; use spicy Italian or German brat if preferred)
• 2 stalks Scallions (thinly sliced, white and green parts separated)
• 2 tablespoons Crispy Fried Shallots (packaged) (for garnish and extra crunch)

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients

   Thinly slice the scallions (separate white and green parts), cut bacon into 1‑inch pieces, and slice the beef franks diagonally.

   Time: PT2M

2. Render Bacon

   Place the bacon pieces in a cold skillet, add 2 Tbsp water, and turn the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until about 80 % of the fat has rendered and the bacon is lightly browned.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: Medium

3. Remove Bacon & Fry Eggs

   Using tongs, transfer the rendered bacon to a plate. In the same pan, with the bacon fat remaining, crack the two eggs and fry sunny‑side‑up until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

   Time: PT4M

   Temperature: Medium

4. Cook Noodles

   Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the two packs of instant ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 3 minutes). Drain, reserving about ¼ cup of the cooking water.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: Boiling

5. Season Noodles

   In a mixing bowl, combine the two seasoning packets (excluding any oil packets) with the reserved noodle water and the rendered bacon fat from the skillet. Toss the cooked noodles in this mixture until evenly coated.

   Time: PT2M

6. Assemble the Bowl

   Divide the seasoned noodles between two serving bowls. Top each with the rendered bacon, a sunny‑side‑up egg, sliced beef franks, the white part of the scallions, and a generous sprinkle of crispy fried shallots. Finish with the green scallion ribbons for freshness.

   Time: PT2M
