JAL Tips

  • Make sure to mix oil with macaroni and water before boiling as oil prevents macaroni from sticking together.
  • After boiling, stir the cooked macaroni lightly before draining so that it doesn’t stick together later on as well.
  • For perfection, boil macaroni until almost cooked and not fully cooked. This will prevent macaroni becoming over cooked with the veggies.
  • If you prefer more cheesy but spicy, just add how much ever cheese you want and increase the proportion of pepper powder in your dish (just like artist adjust the colours😅).
