Steps

1

Mince one clove of garlic and slice the other clove thickly (about 1/16 inch). Slice the chili pepper into small pieces.
2

Prepare the pasta boiling water!
3

In a cold frying pan, add olive oil, garlic, and chili pepper. Heat over low to medium heat. Start boiling the pasta.
4

Once the garlic is colored, add butter. Once melted, add half a ladle of pasta boiling water to thin it out. Add the white dashi!
5

Drain the pasta one minute before the standard cooking time, then add it to the hot frying pan!
6

Mix over high heat. Mix well. Once everything is combined, turn off the heat!
7

Add the beaten eggs (and cheese). Mix quickly and serve when it's just slightly undercooked (the residual heat will prevent the eggs from overcooking!).
8

Finally, add the spicy chili oil. Mix (this adds a kick and enhances the flavor).
9

Sprinkle parsley for color, and it's done!
10

Thicker noodles, like 1.9mm, hold the sauce well and are delicious. Even slightly thinner noodles are super tasty! When really hungry, you might eat two servings!
