Method
- Add the noodles, water, and bacon to the pot, and bring to a boil over medium high heat
- Flip the brink back and forth until all the noodles are loose
- Turn off the heat and let the noodles rest for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. There should be a small amount of starch water in the bottom of the pot
- In a medium bowl (the serving bowl), whisk together the egg yolk, Parmesan cheese, and a few cracks of black pepper.
- Add the pot’s contents to the bowl with the egg yolk and cheese and stir this together thoroughly until the noodles are coated with a thick sauce.
- Garnish with additional parmesan cheese and black pepper.

Notes
Where was this when I was younger?
Quite the ramen hack. Quick, simple, tasty, and almost cheap. (Eggs, good eggs command a prince's ransom these days.) And we will not discuss the price of a good brick of ramen. The cheap eggs, ramen, and cheese are just that, CHEAP. The taste and nutritional value will be similar.
Then again, nutritional value and ramen are things that don't fit together.
On the subject of eggs, I try to use either locally sourced or pastured eggs. The true test of the quality of an egg is the yolk; I want them the size of the sun and just as yellow.
