## The Fusion of Two Culinary Worlds

Charlie Chan Pasta, a dish that has gained immense popularity in recent years, is a testament to the magic that happens when two distinct culinary traditions meet. Imagine the classic Italian spaghetti, but prepared with an Asian twist. This dish, often found on the menu of the renowned Yellow Cab, is a delightful blend of East meets West, offering a unique taste that's both familiar and novel.

## Ingredients

### For the Chicken Marinade

- 400g chicken breast fillet, cut into strips
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A dash of soy sauce
- A sprinkle of cornstarch
- A hint of ginger

### For the Pasta

- 500g spaghetti
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 60g smooth peanut butter
- A splash of soy sauce
- Pasta water as needed
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- Chili flakes to taste
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- A handful of shitake mushrooms
- 200g cooked skinless peanuts

### For Garnish

- Bunch of green onions for garnish
- More peanuts

## The Story Behind the Dish

The idea of stir-frying spaghetti might raise eyebrows for some, but for those who have tasted Charlie Chan Pasta, it's a revelation. The dish is named after the fictional Chinese-American detective, Charlie Chan, symbolizing the blend of cultures in the recipe.

The al dente spaghetti noodles, when stir-fried with Asian ingredients, transform into something that's neither purely Italian nor purely Asian, but a delightful fusion of both.

## Crafting the Perfect Charlie Chan Pasta

1. Begin by marinating the chicken strips in soy sauce, cornstarch, pepper, and ginger. The cornstarch is essential as it locks in the chicken's moisture, ensuring it remains juicy during the cooking process.
2. Boil the spaghetti for a minute less than the package instructions to retain its al dente texture.
3. In a pan, heat some oil and cook the marinated chicken until it's golden brown.
4. Add in the chopped shitake mushrooms, onions, and garlic. Stir until the chicken is tender.
5. Introduce the tomato paste, giving the dish its rich color.
6. Pour in some reserved pasta water, brown sugar, and peanut butter. This forms the creamy base of the sauce.
7. Add the peanuts, some of which can be crushed for added texture.
8. Season with soy sauce and chili flakes, adjusting according to your taste.
9. Finally, toss in the bell peppers and spring onions, stirring them in just before turning off the heat.

## What to Pair with Your Pasta

Charlie Chan Pasta, with its rich flavors, pairs beautifully with light salads, especially those with a tangy dressing. Consider a cucumber salad with a sesame vinaigrette or a simple green salad with a lemony dressing. For drinks, a chilled glass of white wine or a cold beer complements the dish perfectly.

## Substitutes to Consider

If you're unable to find shitake mushrooms, portobello or button mushrooms are excellent alternatives. For those with peanut allergies, consider using almond butter or cashew butter in place of peanut butter.

## Tips and Tricks for the Best Outcome

- Always reserve some pasta water before draining your spaghetti. The starchy water is a secret ingredient to achieving a creamy sauce.
- When adding soy sauce, do so gradually. It's easier to add more later than to correct an overly salty dish.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding freshly chopped red chilies or even a dash of hot sauce.

## What is Filipino Chicken Macaroni Salad?

Filipino Macaroni Salad is a sweet and creamy pasta salad that uses mayonnaise, shredded chicken breast, carrots, cheese, pickles, raisins, onions and condensed milk.

Most filipinos would only serve this during special occasions like Christmas Dinner, New Year's or during fiestas.

### Is Filipino Macaroni Salad Different From Russian Salad?

This is similar to Russian Salad, however Filipino Macaroni Salad usually does not use eggs nor potatoes.

As with other Filipino dishes, Filipino Macaroni Salad also tend to be more sweet than salty with the addition of condensed milk, pineapple chunks and raisins.

Filipinos also usually mix cheddar cheese with sweet dishes which could sound intriguing to some, but this actually works quite well.

## Essential Ingredients

- 400g of elbow macaroni
- 300g of chicken breast
- 150g of cubed carrots
- 400g of canned pineapple chunks, drained
- 350g of mayonnaise, to taste
- 120g of cubed cheddar cheese
- 60g of chopped pickle relish
- 120g of raisins
- 1 large onion, diced
- 150g of sweetened condensed milk
- Salt and pepper to taste

## Method

1. Cook the elbow macaroni until it reaches the perfect al dente texture. Drain and set aside to cool.
2. Boil the 300g of chicken breast in salted water until fully cooked. Once cooled, shred them into thin strips and set aside.
3. Optionally, boil 150g of cubed carrots until tender. Make sure not to overcook them. Drain and set aside to cool. If you prefer, you can have the carrots raw.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled macaroni, chicken, carrots with the rest of the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Stir it up until everything is well combined.

Note: For the best taste, chill the salad before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in a more delicious and satisfying salad.

## Some Ingredient Substitutes

If you're having trouble finding some ingredients, don't fret! Here are a few substitutes:

- Elbow Macaroni: You can use other types of short pasta like penne or fusilli.
- Canned Pineapple Chunks: Fresh pineapple chunks can be used. Just remember to adjust the sweetness as canned varieties are usually sweeter.
- Cheddar Cheese: Feel free to use other types of hard cheese like Gouda or Edam.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: Regular milk and sugar can be a great alternative. Just be sure to adjust the sweetness to your preference.

## Serving Suggestions

This Macaroni Salad is a versatile dish that pairs well with a variety of foods. Try serving it with a side of grilled chicken or roasted vegetables. If you're in a festive mood, pairing it with Lechon, a traditional Filipino roasted ig, can make for a splendid feast. On the lighter side, a simple green salad can also complement the rich, creamy flavors of the macaroni salad.

## Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Salad

- Always remember to cool your macaroni, chicken, and carrots before combining with the rest of the ingredients. This prevents the mayonnaise and cheese from melting.
- For a twist, add some chopped hard-boiled eggs to the salad.
- If you prefer your salad sweeter, you can add more condensed milk. But remember, balance is key!
- The salad tastes better when chilled for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to blend together perfectly.
- Cook the macaroni until al-dente. Do not overcook as the pasta will end up being mushy in the salad. Avoid using wholegrain pasta as this has a completely different flavour profile which may not match this dish.
- Before boiling the chicken breast, you can pound them in the thicker parts to make it cook quicker and more evenly. This way, you will not have some uncooked portions in the thicker parts of the meat.
- Boil the carrots for a short time until they are slightly tender but not mushy. This ensures you don't have carrots that are too crunchy.
- Be sure to chill the dish before serving as it's meant to be served cold as a salad.
- Adjust the seasoning, salt and pepper, and even the condensed milk and mayonnaise to your liking. Add more mayonnaise for more sourness, condensed milk for more sweetness and of course salt.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I make this salad in advance?

Absolutely! In fact, it tastes better when prepared ahead as it allows the flavors to meld together.

### Can I freeze the Filipino Macaroni Salad?

While you can freeze it, it's best served fresh or refrigerated. Freezing may alter the texture of the ingredients, especially the mayonnaise.

### What can I do if the salad is too sweet for my taste?

You can balance out the sweetness by adding more pickle relish or a dash of vinegar.

### Can I add other fruits to the salad?

Yes! Some people like to add diced apples or grapes for a different flavor profile.

### Can I use other types of pasta for this salad?

Yes, you can use other types of short pasta. However, the traditional and most commonly used is elbow macaroni.

- Cook the pasta slightly just before al-dente. We will finish it off with the vegetables and the sauce in a pan.
- Add as much garlic as you want! Add the garlic to the oil even before the oil is hot to avoid burning the garlic.
- Saute the leeks and mushrooms until soft and tender. This will release all those flavourful juices that will make the dish fabulous.
- Once the leeks and mushrooms are cooked, add the cooked pasta and the pasta water and toss over medium heat until the sauce is slightly thickened.
- Don't forget to season with salt and pepper towards the end of the cooking process to ensure the perfect balance of seasoning is achieved.

## FAQs

### What can I use instead of leeks?

Onions or shallots are excellent substitutes for leeks. They provide a similar texture and mild, sweet flavor.

### Can I use any type of pasta?

Absolutely! Feel free to use whatever pasta you have on hand. However, long pasta like spaghetti or fettuccine tends to work best with this kind of sauce.

### Is there a vegan alternative for this dish?

Definitely! You can substitute the regular pasta with a vegan variant and use a plant-based oil in place of olive oil if desired.

### Can I freeze this pasta for later use?

Yes, this dish freezes quite well. Just ensure you cool it completely before freezing. When you're ready to eat, defrost and reheat it, adding a bit of water if needed.

### How can I make my pasta more flavorful?

To intensify the flavors, sauté the garlic until it's golden, and don't shy away from the herbs! Fresh herbs can add a lot more flavor than dried ones.
