hong kong macaroni noodle soup

Hong Kong Style Macaroni Soup

Hong Kong Macaroni Soup is a popular soup that is served in many HK cafes. Since the dish is so homey and comforting, its perfect on a cold day or when you’re feeling a little down.

I would say that my family made this for me as a kid more often than as an adult. Mainly because the flavors are not too complex and the pasta noodles are soft! However, this dish is great for adults and kids. Give it a try on this cold and winter dayyyy!

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR YOUR HONG KONG NOODLE SOUP:

  • 3/4 cup macaroni
  • 1/2 cup carrots, peas, corn (I used frozen but you can use fresh ◡̈ )
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1.5 cup water
  • 1 tsp soy sauce (adjust to your taste)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to your taste)
  • 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon (adjust to your taste)

toppings:

  • 1/2 tbs oil
  • 2 fried eggs
  • 1/2 can spam or ham
  • sliced green onions
  • 1/4 tsp sesame oil (optional)

STEPS TO MAKE THE HONG KONG NOODLE SOUP:

  1. Boil macaroni pasta according to package directions until al dente. Strain and set pasta aside.
  2. Make the toppings by frying spam in 1/2 tbs oil. Then, using the same pan, fry an egg on medium heat. Add 1 tsp of water and cover for 1 minute until the egg white is cooked. Set spam and eggs aside.
  3. To make the soup, add chicken broth and water in a pot. x Then, add carrots, peas, and corn. Boil on medium. Once the broth starts boiling, add cooked macaroni pasta.
  4. Then add seasoning: 1 tsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon. Adjust according to your taste (considering that your chicken broth may be saltier or less salty than mine). Remember to not make the broth too salty because the spam is pretty salty and savory when added to the soup! Boil for 1 minute.
  5. Serve soup with spam and sunny side egg. Garnish with green onions and sesame oil if you like. Hope you enjoy!

A little inside look of my food creation process! A little inside look of my food creation process! I try my best to create/write delicious foods so you can make them at home 💕🥹

As a food content creator, we taste test our recipes at least 2 times before we put it out on the internet. Why? Well some things just turn out tasting not so good or it doesn’t look too pretty. It’s important for us to create beautiful food content because we eat with our eyes first. This recipe tasting process is different for everyone but here’s a quick look on how I taste recipes to ensure they are tasty and easy to make. 

1. See what’s trending? Scroll google/tik tok/instagram to see what people want to eat.
2. I start drafting my recipe in @notion and I make a grocery list. I try to not buy random items (ok maybe one or two) LOL
3. Start cooking - I go off my draft recipe and start cooking! I love how notion keeps track of my recipes and groceries all in one go!
4. tasting testing - I taste and continue to tweak while i’m cooking, making sure i make notes along the way. 

I haven’t done this for all my recipes in the past, but I can say in 2022-2023, I’ve tried my best to make delicious recipes for y’all! Shoutout to Notion (notes app) for helping me organize all my recipe and video  ideas.  I used Notion when I was a corporate girlie so I highly recommend for those that want to keep your schedule and notes on track (not sponsored).

Did the chicken or egg come first? I dunno, but wh Did the chicken or egg come first? I dunno, but whoever invented this dish, oyakodon is a genius. Welcome to episode 5 of my recipes series where we cook delicious food using one pot only and using as little amount of dishes as possible. 

Find the full recipe by checking link in bio or google ‘one pot oyakodon dana’ 

I adapted the famous dish to be made in a rice cooker! Oyoakodon is known for it’s dashi shoyu sauce which tastes umami, savory and sweet. The combination of tender chicken, sweet onions, and the richness of the beaten eggs creates a delicious and satisfying meal.

If you make this, try to follow the instructions carefully to ensure you have tender chicken and not so mushy rice ◡̈

Sorry, I put the wrong address on the video 😅😅😅
Family owned restaurants alllll the way!! This Filipino family owned restaurant is called At My Place in Phoenix, Arizona. The address is 3450 W Chandler Blvd Ste 9 Chandler AZ 85226!

We had sisig (our friends favorite dish ever) and it was so flavorful, soft, crispy and just super yummy! TRUST. The lumpia and longanisia were also delicious but incomparable to the sisig 😂

Please check this place out if you’re ever in the area 🙏🏼💖 You won’t regret it and support local if you can ◡̈

The rice worth waiting for!! Welcome to episode 4 The rice worth waiting for!! Welcome to episode 4 of my recipes series where we cook delicious food using one pot only and using as little amount of dishes as possible. Today we’re making lo mai fan aka chinese sticky rice! 

Full recipe, google ‘Chinese Sticky Rice Dana’ or find it in my link in bio 🍚

The star of the show are these chinese cured meats that pack insane amount of savoriness and sweetness to your rice. These meats are a very common pantry item in Chinese households kinda similar to how you can find canned tuna in an American pantry. These meats are Lap Cheong, a type of Chinese sausage and lap yuk, chinese cured pork belly (my dad made ours at home!). The combination of all the delicious chinese cured meats brings a savory, rich flavor to the sticky rice. 

You may have seen this dish at dim sum restaurants. Traditionally, they steam the rice and then sautee all the ingredients together in a large wok. The stir fry process makes the grains more chewy and the preserved meats very fragrant. However, to make this process a lot quicker, we are throwing all the ingredients in a rice cooker to make an equally delicious chinese sticky rice.

Things to keep in mind 

- the perfect proportion of water is crucial to ensure that the rice is not overcooked and too mushy. remember that the mushrooms and meat will provide extra moisture to the rice when cooked.
- Don’t forget about the dried shrimp and shiitake mushroom as it provides a sweetness and umami flavor (both dried pantry items)
- I used the ‘white rice’ setting in my @zojirushiamerica rice cooker and it cooks the rice perfectly. You can use the regular cook setting as well for this recipe.

Find the full recipe by googling ‘tantanmen cook with Dana’ or find it in the link in bio 🍜

Long time no ASMR calming video…Honestly, I’ve been feeling kinda bleh and warm soup kinda cheers me up. I’ve also been busy with family lately that I haven’t been able to cook as often as I usually do 😞 

That’s where this tantanmen recipe comes in clutch. You can have a delicious & creamy broth without cooking it for forever. Tantanmen is a Chinese dish that has been popularized in Japan and has been adapted into a Japanese version known as Tan Tan Men. While the Chinese version is typically made with a spicy soup made from chili oil and Sichuan peppercorns, the Japanese version often has a milder broth made with miso, soy sauce, or both.

We are making the Japanese version that is less spicy than the Chinese version. This recipe takes less than 30 minutes to make and you can add a variety of different toppings based on your own preference such as soft boiled eggs, chasu (bbq pork), bean sprouts, corn and more! You can also replace the udon noodles with ramen noodles or whatever noodle you prefer!
