Macaroni Soup with Ham (Hong Kong Style breakfast)

Macaroni Soup with Ham

Ingredients:

• 250 gm macaroni
• 500 ml chicken stock
• 500 ml water
• 70 gm green peas, fresh or frozen
• 60 gm corn kernels, fresh or frozen
• 200 gm ham
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste
• boiling water, to soak the vegetables
• sesame oil, to taste, optional

Method:

1. Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions. Drain well. Set aside.
2. Soak green peas and corn kernels in boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain well.
3. Use a deep large pot, add chicken stock and water. Bring it to a boil. Add macaroni, ham, green peas and corn kernels. Continue to cook. When it boils again. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle a bit of sesame oil on top. Serve in individual bowls immediately.

 

Notes:

• The macaroni soup that served in Hong Kong café doesn’t contain any peas or corn kernels, only with shredded ham. As for personal preference, I diced the ham to match with peas and corn kernels.
• You might like to use home made or bought chicken stock. I used Swanson chicken broth for a quick fix.
