Macaroni
通粉
The soup noodle of the café set breakfast: ham macaroni, tomato beef macaroni, luncheon-meat macaroni. The café boils it past al dente, rinses it and keeps it in water, which is why the bowl is soft. Every Australian supermarket has it, San Remo Macaroni No 38 for example, in 500g packs; small macaroni and ditalini are narrower tubes and not the café shape.
Cautions: read first
- Contains wheat, a mandatory-declaration allergen in Australia; some brands add egg.
Preparation
Boil until soft, rinse under cold water, then reheat in the soup.
Origin
Italy. At Coles and Woolworths, San Remo No 38 500g for example.
