Kimchi Pasta Carbonara

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

For this week’s Alphabet Weekly Dish Challenge, we’re on the letter K, which makes it the ideal time to share this recipe for Kimchi Pasta inspired by the classic carbonara. Kimchi has a tangy, spicy and slightly salty taste that perfectly compliments the creamy richness of the carbonara.

For those of you who love Kimchi (I am obsessed with it!), this is a great Korean fusion dish to try out. Though it’s super easy to prepare, it doesn’t take away from how tasty and mouthwatering this dish is. Absolutely scrumptious!

P.s. Anyone else looking forward to BTS’ In The Soop Season 2 that’s coming out next month? I can’t wait to see what sort of dishes they’ll be preparing for their meals. I’m guessing that Kimchi Fried Rice will at least be one of them again, don’t you think? 😉

Here are some other Korean recipes for you to try:

Course Main Course
Servings 2

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 lb pasta 1/2 box of regular sized box pasta
  • 5 slices bacon see notes
  • 1 cup kimchi
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 cup parmesan
  • 1 tbsp kimchi juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter see notes
  • 3/4 tbsp sugar

Instructions
 

  • 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!

Notes

*I used turkey bacon. Use whatever bacon you want or pancetta. You can skip bacon and just use mushrooms too.
*Turkey bacon doesn’t give off much grease so I added butter. If you use regular bacon, skip the butter.
*Very important to turn off heat while mixing the pasta with the sauce and to work fast. The heat from the pan and the pasta will be enough to cook the sauce without overcooking it. If it’s overcooked or you don’t stir fast enough, the sauce will turn out to be scramble eggs.

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

Try these Crispy Air Fried Crab Stick Crackers for size. A classic snack that could almost always be seen during Chinese New Year festivities in Malaysia. All you need are some crab sticks, a bit of seasoning, and a few tablespoons of oil!
This is such an easy and addictive snack. I always have to make a lot if I’m sharing because I tend to finish the first batch all by myself 😂

Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Cocon Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Coconut Curry) @farahjeats 
Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
