Introduction
Acclaimed as even better than pasta, this dish features cold, rich, carbonara-style somen. Crispy stir-fried bacon combines with a creamy sauce base made from egg yolks and cheese, clinging perfectly to the thin somen noodles.
Step 1
Cut the block bacon (80g) into small sticks (lardons).
Step 2
Add bacon to a frying pan without oil and stir-fry slowly until crispy.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine egg yolks (2), mayonnaise (30g), salt (2/3 tsp), Ajinomoto (12 shakes), black pepper (to taste), and parmesan cheese (2 tbsp), and whisk well to create the sauce. Refrigerate the sauce.
Step 4
Add the somen (200g) to a large pot of boiling water and cook for 45 seconds.
Step 5
Drain the somen in a colander and rinse well under running water. Then, submerge in ice water to chill thoroughly and squeeze tightly by hand to remove all excess water.

Important Notes
💡 When frying the bacon, the secret is to skip the oil and let it crisp up in its own rendered fat.
⚠️ If moisture remains in the somen, it will dilute the sauce, so be sure to squeeze it out firmly by hand.
❄️ Making the sauce in advance and chilling it thoroughly in the fridge makes the dish even more delicious when tossed with the noodles.
