Ttukdak Hyung's Original Carbonara

A traditional pasta with deep, rich umami from egg yolks cured in salt and sugar for a week, then dried, without any cream.

Ingredients needed 1 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When drying in the air fryer, maintain a low temperature around 50°C so moisture evaporates gently—this is key.
  • Do not add yolk powder directly to a hot pan; it will clump instead of forming a creamy sauce. Always cool the pan or transfer to a bowl before mixing.
  • The yolks cured with salt and sugar for 7 days serve as an excellent cheese substitute, so no additional salt is needed when cooking the pasta.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy the rich, thick, and authentic Italian carbonara flavor from egg yolks without cream.
  • Those who want to take the time and effort to make a unique and special ingredient (cured egg yolks) from scratch.
  • Those who want to recreate a deep, umami-packed pasta at home that rivals Italian restaurants.
