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 this soup a try on this cold and winter dayyyy!

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR YOUR HONG KONG NOODLE SOUP:

• ¾ cup macaroni
• ½ cup carrots, peas, corn (I used frozen but you can use fresh ◡̈ )
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1.5 cup water
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce (adjust to your taste)
• ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to your taste)
• ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon (adjust to your taste)

toppings:

• ½ tbs oil
• 2 fried eggs
• ½ can spam or ham
• sliced green onions
• ¼ teaspoon 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 ½ tbs oil. Then, using the same pan, fry an egg on medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon 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 teaspoon soy sauce, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon 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!
