Buldak carbonara and Bibigo wontons

Yesterday was my birthday, I was supposed to spend some time with my bf and order in pizza… but his grandmother unfortunately passed away 😭 Ended up making this and sitting alone in tears. She was an amazing woman and she will be missed dearly.

I made 2 packs of buldak carbonara. Mixed the buldak seasoning packs with some grated Parmesan cheese and 4 egg yolks. Once the noodles were strained, I added a few slices of American cheese and my egg mixture. For the pot stickers, I used a tablespoon or two of rendered ribeye fat and then some of the pasta water to steam them covered for 8-9 minutes until they had some color on the bottom.

In all the meal was great, but my birthday wasn't.
