This creamy udon carbonara with bacon takes just 15 minutes and 4 ingredients to make

Ingredients

All you need are

Frozen udon: I found this in the frozen section of my local Asian market. These packs come in handy since they only take about a minute in hot water to defrost but are so chewy and fresh. I always keep some in my freezer for last minute meals
Bacon
Egg yolks
Feel free to add more seasonings to taste, I usually like to add a bit of black pepper
