HOW TO MAKE KIMCHI CARBONARA
👉Bring a large pot of (salted) water to a boil over high heat.
👉In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolk and egg until well blended.
👉Stir in the cheese and season with black pepper.
👉In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, add olive oil.
👉Add pancetta and cook for 7 to 8 minuted (until crisp around the edges)
👉Transfer the pancetta to a small bowl.
In the same Dutch oven, remove most of the fat, leave only 2 tablespoons.
👉Turn the heat to medium-low, add half of the kimchi and cook for 4 minutes.
👉In the meantime, cook the pasta until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally. Save ¾ cup pasta water. Drain pasta. Set aside.
👉Add ½ cup pasta water into Dutch oven with the kimchi. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add cooked pasta. Stirring constantly and cook for about 2 minutes. Remove pot from heat.
👉Whisk in 2 tablespoons pasta water (not all) into the egg mixture. Then slowly pour into Dutch oven, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted. If needed, add a little more pasta water to thin out the sauce. Add the remaining kimchi and bacon. Stir well. Season with salt if needed.
👉Transfer pasta to serving plates. Sprinkle with black pepper and parmesan cheese.
