Ingredients

¾ cup macaroni uncooked
3 cups chicken broth
2 cup water
1 teaspoon soy sauce adjust to your taste
1 teaspoon oyster sauce adjust to your taste
2 pieces sliced ham

toppings

¼ teaspoon sesame oil optional
1 fried egg optional but recommended

Instructions

Cut ham in slices. You can use scissors to make it quick.
Boil chicken broth in a pot on medium heat. Then, add macaroni noodles when the broth is boiling.
Next, add soy sauce and oyster sauce to the broth and cook until the noodles are soft (or to your desired texture). Adjust according to your taste (considering that your chicken broth may be saltier or less salty than mine).
To make the most perfect sunny side egg, heat pan on medium heat. When the pan is hot, add some oil and crack your egg. Then, add 1 teaspoon of water and cover for 1 minute until the egg white is cooked.
When the noodles are cooked, add your sliced ham and sesame oil. Mix together so the noodles are not stuck together.
Garnish with green onions and enjoy!

Notes

Expert Tips

Toppings such as fried spam and a crispy fried egg makes this dish extra tasty. I highly recommend adding that on top for more flavor.

Try to use an unsalted chicken broth so your soup is not too salty. If you're using salted broth, just remember to adjust the salt according to your preferences.
