carbonara challenge.
sister M is a big big fan of carbonara,
so to make use of the remaining bacon strips i've bought last time,
and to cook a meal for dad since he has been the chef for forever,
we three decided to cook carbonara lol
sister M had found this video ( below ) and the steps to cook are super easy.
we've followed the steps exactly as taught in the video and modified some ingredients on our own.
anyway we measured the amount of ingredients needed wrongly lol
instead of a four people serving, we only managed to come up with a serving for 2 people + lmao
although my portion is quite small but i'm bloated because of the creamy sauce.
ingredients we've used :
minced bacon
5 egg yolks & 4 egg whites
cooking cream - salt - pepper
used only a lil amount of fine parmesan cheese
firstly we prepped all the ingredients.
we minced the bacon strips and set it aside.
then we whisked the eggs altogether with a pinch of salt and pepper,
later adding the cream and cheese into the mixture and whisked it all.
after that we boiled the spaghetti.
when the spaghetti is almost ready, we started to fry the minced bacon.
when the minced bacon is crispy enough, the spaghetti should also be ready already.
we turned off the flames for both and quickly ( because we need the heat ) put the spaghetti into the fried bacon pan and swirl them together.
bit by bit, we added the egg mixture into the same pan and continued swirling.
since there were no flames, the sauce is cooked using the heat of the spaghetti and the bacon.
i can't really get the concept of it until my sis repeated for a couple of times lol
when sister M & S tasted the sauce, they said it's tasteless and something wasn't there.
so we added some fried garlic and sister M just added salt and pepper to her liking haha
and then tadahhh :D
dad added some basil to his plate.
overall it's edible ( thank God )
and i'm grateful it turned out quite well because i thought we might blow the whole cooking thing up haha
if we're ever going to make this again,
i'd put extra extra bacon XD
ah such happy times with sisters
and i really loved the minced bacon hehe
