🍽️ Recipe Overview & Cooking Guide

Prep Time: 20 minutes (for marinating)

Cook Time: 8 minutes

Total Time: 28 minutes

Servings: 1 comforting bowl

🛒 Ingredients You'll Need:

  • 1 pack Knorr Quick Serve Macaroni (Tung Choi Flavor)
  • 1/4 lbs Minced Pork
  • Fresh Spinach
  • Tung Choi
  • 530 ml Water

🥩 Minced Pork Marinade:

  • 1/2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Corn Starch
  • 1/8 tsp Chicken Powder
  • 1/3 tsp Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Water
  • 1/4 tsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1/4 tsp Shaoxing Wine
  • A dash of Ground White Pepper

🍳 Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

  1. Marinate the Pork: Combine the minced pork with the soy sauce, corn starch, chicken powder, sugar, water, vegetable oil, Shaoxing wine, and white pepper. Let it sit for 20 minutes if you have time.
  2. Stir-Fry the Meat: Heat an oiled pot on medium heat. Add the marinated minced pork and stir-fry until it is no longer pink. Toss in the Tung Choi at the end, stir-fry the mixture for another 15 seconds, then remove from the pot and set aside.
  3. Boil the Soup Base: In the same pot, add 530 ml of water and bring it to a boil on high heat. Stir in the Knorr Tung Choi seasoning powder.
  4. Cook the Macaroni: Once the soup base boils, add the quick-serve macaroni. Let it simmer on medium-low heat for 3 minutes.
  5. Add Greens & Assemble: After 3 minutes, drop in the fresh spinach and immediately turn off the heat. Stir the cooked Tung Choi and minced pork mixture back into the soup macaroni. Gently mix and serve hot!

💡 Pro-Tip for Foodies

Stir-frying the seasoned minced pork and Tung Choi in the pot before boiling the soup leaves caramelized pork juices at the bottom of the pan, which instantly infuses the macaroni broth with incredible extra depth of flavor!
