Method
 

How to Make Hong Kong Macaroni Soup
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until soft, about 12-13 minutes. Drain and set aside for later.
  2. In a pan, fry up the SPAM slices (or your preferred protein), cooking until golden brown. If you like, fry an egg sunny side up or poach it in the broth for extra flavor.
  3. In a separate pot, heat the chicken stock over medium heat. Season it gently with salt, sugar, and white pepper, then bring it to a gentle boil.
  4. Toss in the carrots and corn, letting them simmer in the broth for 2-3 minutes until they float to the surface and become tender.
  5. Turn off the heat and ladle the savory broth over the cooked macaroni. Drizzle sesame oil on top and layer the pan-fried SPAM and egg for a delicious finishing touch.
  6. Add any optional garnishes like crispy shallots or chopped spring onions to elevate your dish and enjoy!
