Stir-Fried Pasta (Nui Xào)
I have a lot of cousins and we spent the better part of our childhoods together. Grandma and the aunties would make a big batch of this pasta when we were kids for lunch. The ham and olives are definitely a family touch. I’ve seen more typical versions served with beef, but I’ve never had it that way. Our family used macaroni noodles too, but I switched it up with a penne shape (any shape works).
Also, rice pasta is not very easy to come by so I’m glad I discovered Bolsa Buy that shipped directly to my house! Otherwise, good old fashioned macaroni pasta does just fine.
