Hong Kong Style Macaroni Soup

When I came across this macaroni recipe online recently, my memories flashes back to our trips in Hong Kong.  It's my Uncle's favorite morning breakfast as it is a delicious light meal ideal for breakfast. This breakfast dish is normally served with milk tea, a piece of bread and a fried egg.  Milk Tea is a popular tea in Hong Kong.  It makes me happy to be able to prepare this light and healthy breakfast in my home kitchen.


Ingredients: (Serves 2)
2 portions of macaroni 
1/2 tbsp. salt
2 tsp. olive oil
Chicken bones
Chicken stock granules (to season chicken broth)
Grounded white pepper (to season chicken broth)
2 sunny side up eggs
2 pieces luncheon meat/ham

Methods:

  1. To prepare chicken broth, bring a medium pot of water to a boil, pour some over the chicken bones placed in a bowl to blanch, drain and put back into the pot to continue to boil.  Skim away any scum on the surface.  When done, filter broth through a wire mesh.  Season with chicken stock granules and pepper.
  2. Cook macaroni until al dente.  Mix with 2 tsp. of olive oil to prevent from sticking.
  3. Pan-fry luncheon meat or ham, cut into strips and set aside in a plate.
  4. Place macaroni in a bowl.  Ladle hot soup over it and put the luncheon meat/ham on the top.  Place the fried eggs in 2 separate small plate, and serve at the side with the macaroni soup.
  5. Good morning and enjoy this light breakfast....
This recipe is adapted from 'tasteasianfood.com' with very slight amendment to suit my cooking preference.
