步骤

Cook the pasta

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.

Add macaroni and cook 1 minute less than the time stated on the package (about 7 minutes). Reserve 2–3 tablespoons (30–50 mL) of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Sauté the aromatics

Heat a drizzle of oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat.

Add dried chili paste, onion, and garlic. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, until fragrant and the oil turns red.

Add the protein

Add chicken and stir-fry with the aromatics until it’s no longer pink.

Stir in tomato ketchup, oyster sauce, and kicap manis (sweet soy sauce). Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

Add the egg and veggies

Push the chicken to one side of the pan and pour in the egg.

Scramble gently, then mix it into the rest of the ingredients.

Add capsicum and tomatoes (if using), and stir-fry for another minute.

Toss in the pasta

Add the cooked macaroni along with 2–3 tablespoons (30–50 mL) of reserved pasta water.

Toss well so the sauce coats every piece of pasta.

Add greens and season

Stir in bok choy or your choice of leafy greens, and cook until wilted.

Taste and adjust with salt or a pinch of sugar, if needed.

Finish and serve

Turn off the heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro and fried shallots, and serve hot.
