Instructions

Add the water, ramen, and bacon to a pot that’s just big enough to hold the noodles and bring the mixture to a boil.
Flip the brick of noodles over a few times until it starts to fall apart. Stir continuously until there are no clumps of noodles remaining and then turn off the heat and let the noodles rest for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, Parmesan cheese, and a few cracks of black pepper.
When the noodles are done, add the pot's contents to the bowl with the egg yolk and cheese and stir this together thoroughly until the noodles are coated with a thick sauce.
Serve the Ramen Carbonara garnished with more Parmesan cheese and black pepper, along with a sprinkle of scallions.
