Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, cheese, garlic.
In a large pot with hot boiling water, blanch your frozen food on noodles until they have loosened for about 30 seconds. Do not boil. Reserve ¼ cup of the noodle water for later. Strain noodles immediately.
In a large pan, fry your bacon (or pancetta or guanciale) until crispy and the fat has been rendered off. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon and set aside. Remove and discard the excess oil in the pan.
Into the same pan, add udon noodles with ¼ cup reserved noodle water to loosen them. Add meat back in. Cook until noodles begin to steam.
Remove the entire pan off the heat. Wait 1 minute for the noodles to cool down. Then pour in cheese egg mixture and quickly mix so the eggs do not cook. Season with salt to taste.
Serve and garnish with seasoned seaweed strips, optional.
