Creamy caramelized onion noodles: caramelize onions, blend them with egg yolks, parmesan and olive oil into a silky sauce, then toss through instant noodles. A carbonara-style bowl with deep onion sweetness.
Instructions
- 1
Heat the butter in a pan, add the onion rings and the ½ cup of water, cover with a lid, and steam for about 5 minutes — this shortcut wilts the onions fast.
05:00 - 2
Remove the lid and continue cooking, stirring often, until the onions turn deep golden and caramelize — about 8–10 minutes more.
10:00 - 3
Transfer the caramelized onions to a blender. Add the egg yolks, the second ½ cup of water, parmesan, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- 4
Cook your instant noodles per the package, drain, then toss with the sauce until every strand is coated. Plate up and finish with sliced green onion.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I caramelize onions faster?
Steam them first with butter and water under a lid for 5 minutes to wilt them, then cook uncovered, stirring, until deep golden — about 8–10 minutes instead of 40.
Will the egg yolks scramble?
No — they are blended into the sauce and gently warmed by the hot noodles, like carbonara. Toss off the heat so they thicken into silk rather than scrambling.
Can I use other noodles?
Any noodle works — instant, spaghetti or udon. Save a splash of cooking water to loosen the sauce if it gets too thick.
