Hey guys! Welcome back to my channel, Rack of Lam.
If you're running out of breakfast ideas, you may appreciate this video because
I'll be showing you how to make a Hong Kong style breakfast,
spam and egg macaroni soup. This recipe is quite straightforward,
quick and easy, especially if you're using all four burners of your stove top.
And it only requires a few ingredients, which includes:
Spam, obviously.
eggs
chicken stock
and some sesame oil. That is it! If you'd like you can top your soup off
with some white pepper powder, salt or fish sauce, but I normally just
eat it as is because the Spam by itself is salty enough.
You can also add some scallions.
Um, but I think that your family will enjoy this dish
and if you are interested in how to make it
please keep watching.
Forgot to mention that you'll also need oil, ginger and how did I leave out
macaroni? My bad!
Pour three and a half cups of chicken broth into a small pot.
Add two slices of ginger. The one shown here is about an inch long and a quarter inch thick.
Bring the broth to a boil then add about one teaspoon of sesame oil.
At the same time, boil some water and cook one and a half cups of elbow
macaroni according to package instructions.
If you're using a stainless steel cookware like I am, make sure you stir to
avoid the pasta from sticking. When they're fully cooked, drain and set them aside.
If you're a multi-tasker with a 4 burner stove top,
you can also work on the next step while the soup and pasta are cooking.
Remove your Spam from the can. I am using the 25%
less sodium one here.
Begin slicing the Spam into quarter inch thick pieces.
I'm using a little less than half a can since I'm feeding two adults and a toddler,
but feel free to use more if you wish.
Now line up the Spam like a deck of cards and begin cutting them into strips.
Next, sear the strips of Spam until both sides are slightly brown.
Since the Spam already contains oil, there is no need to use any for searing.
Whenever I eat Spam, it brings me back to two places:
Hawaii, where they are known for Spam musubi,
and Hong Kong, where cafes or Cha Chan Tang's, serve this macaroni soup for breakfast,
alongside some Hong Kong style milk tea and toast with condensed milk.
This is the perfect opportunity for you to showcase food tossing in a pan.
When the Spam is ready, set them aside until they are ready to be served.
Finally, heat a non-stick pan and grease it with some oil.
You may cook the eggs however you wish, but we personally enjoy them sunny side up.
If you're selecting this method as well
carefully break your eggs onto the pan and allow them to cook untouched for a
few minutes.
I swear, this yin yang was not intentional!
If you prefer your eggs less raw, place a lid on top of the pan,
turn off the fire and steam them until the egg whites are cooked through and
the yolk's still runny.
Plating time has arrived! Since this recipe makes three servings,
place one third of the cooked and drained elbow macaroni into a bowl.
Next, atop your macaroni with some Spam.
If you're a fan of scallions like I am, add some of that as well.
Now pour one third of the hot broth into the bowl.
I enjoy my broth as is, but if you'd like add some salt,
or some fish sauce.
At last, top the bowl off with this classic addition to any breakfast,
a beautiful sunny side up egg. Now dig in and enjoy this quick and easy,
Hong Kong style, spam and egg macaroni soup.
