A diary from someone who doesn't cook often.
I made the ramanara with what I had on hand:
- normal bacon pieces
- sliced cheese
- dry thyme
- unsalted butter
- salt
- noodles in a cup
- olive oil (I couldn't find garlic oil)
- water
It was a war site after I was done. Grating sliced cheese is a bit of a challenge. So I hoped it would workout fine if I'd fold 2 slices until it becomes like a big block and grate it by holding it tight. While that did work, pieces of cheese that weren't grated properly were flying around like little fairies on a rave while pretending to be fireworks. The noodle was in a cup. And it did NOT want to leave its cup. Out of sheer panic I took a knife and stabbed the cup to pieces, bits of plastic and collateral noodles flew in my sink until I could finally extract the noodles from the cup. Note to self: next time just gently loosen them up with some hot water. But I did not have time to think, my bacon pieces were already cooking and almost burning. With great haste I threw in thyme, a knob of butter and some salt. I threw in the water and then came to the realization that these noodle cup portions might be a bit small. So I butchered a second noodle cup and extracted its noodles.
I was 10 minutes in, almost done and realized that the cleanup would take me more time than it would to make the dish: P
It did taste quite nice. But I do have some qualms about it (I suppose also regarding normal carbonara) which is: THIS IS NOT HEALTHY AT ALL! Man, I'm so naive as someone who doesn't cook often. But I could just taste the fat, the meat, the cheese and the salt. What the hell. So I am wondering: what would make this dish a bit more healthy and nice?
Maybe add some mushrooms?
An egg with the noodles (egg fried noodles?
Some onions and garlic (are sweated onions still healthy? I suppose so?
I read others also put in zucchini, peas and mushrooms

I make what I call triple chick ramen. Cooked dark meat chicken, chicken flavor ramen, and an egg per serving. Cook chicken first add in water add season packet boil noodles in that and at the last minute drop in the egg and stir it up to scramble it.

I don't buy instant ramen, just the noodles plain. I season them different ways but for this you could use a seasoned salt or bouillon powder.

Strip off and chop up some fresh thyme
(Jamie starts taking his shirt off)
I don't think that's what Ben meant by strip off.

Take something that costs about 20p and is very easy to make and then add things so it becomes expensive and hassle. Yay.
