Inspired by the classic carbonara, this kimchi pasta is quick and so flavorful.
Cut up the bacon and kimchi into bite sized pieces.
Make the pasta sauce by mixing the eggs, egg yolk, parmesan, salt, pepper and kimchi juice in a bowl and boil the pasta. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water just in case.
Add 1 tbsp of butter to a pan (see notes) and pan fry the bacon until cooked.
Once cooked, add the kimchi and fry for another 2-3 minutes.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain and immediately add it into the pan with the bacon and kimchi.
Turn off heat and add the pasta sauce. WORK FAST. Stir until every strand of pasta is coated with the sauce. Add a splash of pasta water if too dry/hard to mix.
Serve. Top it off with parmesan and green onions. Enjoy!
