Cozy & Creamy: Hong Kong Style Ham, Corn & Hard Boiled Egg Macaroni Soup

If there is one combination that defines the cozy mornings of Hong Kong, it is the classic trio of savory ham, sweet corn, and a perfectly cooked egg over a steaming bowl of macaroni. It is simple, humble, and absolutely legendary in local cafes.

Today, we are elevating this childhood favorite by pairing these classic toppings with a rich, velvety broth using Knorr Quick Serve Macaroni (Japanese Pork Bone Flavor). The savory depth of the tonkotsu-style pork bone soup beautifully complements the sweetness of the corn and the salty bite of the ham, creating a balanced, warming bowl that is ready in under 10 minutes.

Cook Time: 3 minutes

Total Time: 8 minutes

Servings: 1 comforting bowl

🛒 Ingredients You'll Need:

• 1 pack Knorr Quick Serve Macaroni (Japanese Pork Bone Flavor)
• 2 slices of Premium Ham (cut into strips)
• Sweet Corn kernels (canned or fresh)
• 1 Hard-boiled egg (sliced in half)
• 530 ml Water
• A pinch of Ground White Pepper
• A few drops of pure Sesame Oil

🍳 Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Because your toppings are already cooked and ready, this recipe is lightning-fast and focuses on building that creamy, comforting base:

1. Boil the Pork Bone Broth: Pour 530 ml of water into a small pot over high heat. Stir in the Knorr pork bone seasoning powder packet until fully dissolved and the soup looks beautifully milky.
2. Cook the Macaroni & Corn: Once the broth reaches a rolling boil, drop in your quick-serve macaroni and sweet corn kernels. Turn the heat down to medium-low, cover with a lid, and simmer for exactly 3 minutes.
3. Warm the Ham: During the last 30 seconds of simmering, uncover the pot and slide your sliced ham strips into the bubbling broth just to heat them through.
4. Assemble Your Bowl: Turn off the stove. Pour the steaming macaroni, corn, ham, and broth into a deep serving bowl.
5. The Perfect Finish: Carefully place your halved hard-boiled egg on top. Finish with a light dash of white pepper and a drop of sesame oil for an extra layer of cafe-style aroma. Serve immediately!

💡 Pro-Tip for Foodies

Want an even richer cafe experience? Swap the hard-boiled egg for a soft-boiled ramen egg (Ajitama). The jammy, seasoned yolk will melt slightly into the hot pork bone broth, making it incredibly luxurious!
