Instructions

Step 1

Boil the new potatoes with the skin on, then peel and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Blanch the asparagus in boiling salted water (salt is not included in the ingredients list) until bright green. Cut the bacon into ⅕-inch (about 5 mm) strips.

Step 2

Heat a small amount of olive oil (not included in the ingredients list) in a skillet and fry the bacon until crispy. Blot any excess oil with paper towels.

Step 3

Add the vegetable dashi and [A] to the skillet and bring to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, remove from heat and quickly stir in the egg yolks.

Step 4

Arrange the potatoes and asparagus on plates, pour the sauce from step 3 over the vegetables, and sprinkle with black pepper.

Tip

Toss the potatoes and asparagus with the creamy carbonara-style sauce made from the heavy cream and milk. If the sauce in step 3 is reduced too much, it will become too salty. As soon as it starts to bubble, remove it from the heat.
