Fried macaroni, also called macaroni chinois in French, is a dish from Canadian Chinese cuisine. [1] The dish is popularly served in Chinese restaurants in Quebec. [2] [3] [4] [5] It was invented by Chinese restaurant owners in Quebec City [3] during the mid 20th century to fit the tastes of local Canadian customers. [6] [3]

Contents

The dish, known in Quebec as macaroni chinois, is a local adaptation rather than a traditional Chinese recipe, with soy sauce being the primary ingredient linking it to Chinese cuisine. [7]

Description

It is a type of stir fry that consists of elbow macaroni with vegetables and meat, [8] [9] typically beef or pork in a sauce that contains soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. [10] Various recipes may call for onions, peppers, broccoli, carrots, celery or other vegetables. [11] [12]
