Macaroni Meal

My mom makes this dish and growing up, it was one of my absolute favorites!

Serves 2

1/3 box of elbow pasta (macaroni)
1 box of frozen peas and carrots, defrosted
2 potatoes
1 or 2 scallions
salt
water

Start boiling water in a pot for the elbow pasta. Meanwhile, wash the potatoes and scallions. Peel and cube the potatoes and chop the scallions. In a heated and well-oiled wok or pan, throw in potatoes and add some water. Cook covered for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Add peas and carrots and mix it together. Add more water if necessary and cook covered for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the wok or pan and stir fry everything together. If the mix is dry or the potatoes are hard, add some water and cook covered for a few minutes longer. Add salt to taste and once everything is cooked through, it's time to serve and eat!


Tips/ Variations:
- Bits of ground pork can be added if you eat meat
- Minced garlic are also a wonderful addition
