The most comforting Hong Kong Breakfast to enjoy on a cozy day at home. This bowl of macaroni brings back childhood memories when my parents use to bring me and my brother to the cafe’s in the morning before we start our day.
Prepare your ingredients:
- Lite Spam
- Shell Pasta
- Eggs
- Carrots / Peas / Asparagus (What I ended up using)
- Chicken Broth
Make sure to pan fry the spam. This will release the excessive oil the spam has and also will make your soup flavorful. If you are not a fan of spam, you can also substitute with ham.
