Stir Fried Macaroni with Chicken
Hi, everyone.
What is Thai style stir fried macaroni? Is it such a thing? When we are talking about macaroni, we tend to think about Western or Italian recipes. But not anymore!
Vegetables for Stir Fried Macaroni
Stir-fried macaroni is an all time favorite dish for any kids and adults. It has a sweet taste from ketchup and fresh tomatoes which kids love. No worries for adults who like their food spicy, we can add some hot sauce such as Sriracha sauce in the recipe. That is the reason why stir fried macaroni is the most-liked menu for a whole family.
Cooked Macaroni and Eggs
If you have a chance to visit Thailand and to stop at any cooked to order local restaurants, you'll find stir fried macaroni as one of the items in the menu. Cooking this dish makes me miss my little sister so much. Stir-fried macaroni is one of her favorite foods. I remember our childhood; there was a restaurant in an old city of Chiang Mai (where I grew up), and every time we were there she would order this dish all the time. I'm not kidding, EVERY TIME.
Sliced Chicken and Eggs in a Wok
Macaroni is a good source of carbohydrates. If we add some of vegetables and protein along with it, we can have a dish that is full of nutrients. I think it is a easy choice for us because you do not have to prepare any side dishes which saves your time and money.
