Here's what I decided to make for lunch today.
I made Ayam Masak Merah* for dinner yesterday and had some leftover (3 pieces of wings and about 5 tablespoons of sauce). I looked through my pantry and found some elbow macaroni and a can of cream. In the fridge, I had some tomato paste leftover from making Ayam Masak Merah*. I always have italian Herbs in my seasoning cupboard, so I decided to make macaroni and the leftover chicken.
Macaroni with Leftover Ayam Masak Merah*
150grams macaroni
leftover Ayam Masak Merah*
2 tablespoons of tomato paste
one chicken stock cube
quarter cup of water
1 teaspoon italian herbs
quarter cup of cream
sugar to taste
Instructions:
Cook macaroni per instructions on box, al dente.
Debone and cut leftover chicken into small pieces, put back into leftover sauce.
Heat up a saucepan large enough to hold the macaroni. Pour in the leftover Ayam Masak Merah, water, chicken stock cube and italian herbs. Bring to a boil, add cream and sugar to taste and stir till well mixed.
Toss in the macaroni.
Serve warm with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese.
My kids loves anything with creamy tomato sauce and they love pasta. They havent tasted this yet, but I think they'll like it, coz Izani loved it.
I'm just happy to have something to eat under 20 minutes and without having to defrost anything. tee hee :)
I think it'd be yummy with some toasted pine nuts and maybe corn niblets or chopped celery or bell peppers.
*Ayam Masak Merah literally means 'Red Chicken'. It's chicken cooked in red sauce that is made with a mixture of chilli paste and onions (I add a bit of tomato paste so that it's still red, but not too spicy for my kids). I had the recipe in efx2. Perhaps when efx2 is up you could look for it.
