A noodle topping. Makes one serving. This is one of my classic toppings for [pn][pulled noodles].
- 2-3 strips bacon
- salt (optional)
Cut the bacon into small pieces. Saute in a frying pan. If your noodles aren't ready yet, you can turn of the heat to wait; the next step is pretty quick, and you can do it while the noodles are boiling.
- balsamic vinegar
- garlic
Once the bacon is reasonaly cooked, add balsamic vinegar. Mince the garlic. Once the balsamic vinegar has reduced, turn off the heat and add the garlic.
- fresh basil
Top noodles with the bacon sauce, then with chopped basil.
For a southeast Asian twist, use soy sauce and peanut butter instead of balsamic vinegar, and top with cilantro instead of (or in addition to) basil.
