Slice the luncheon meat into about 1/2 inch thick and pan fry on the hot pan until lightly charred
Prepare scrambled eggs:
Crack 6 eggs into a deep skillet or saucepan without tuning on the stove yet. Add butter. Turn on the heat to medium-high. Keep stirring for 30 seconds. Scrape the side and bottom of the pan as you stir. Don't whisk, just stir
Remove from the heat for 10 seconds and keep stirring then put it back on the heat and stir again for another 10 seconds. The eggs should be moist and creamy, if it's too wet to your liking, stir for another 10-20 seconds and then turn off the heat. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Add cream fraiche or sour cream for extra creaminess if you like. Set aside
Cooking macaroni soup with Instant Pot:
Turn on saute mode. When it says "HOT", add cooking oil and onion. Saute for about 2-3 minutes. Add corn kernels and carrots and saute for another minute. Add the chicken broth follow by pasta and seasonings. Give it a stir. Close the lid and turn the steam release valve to "sealing". Press "pressure cooker" and make sure it's on "high heat". Set the timer to 2 minutes. When it beeps, carefully release pressure
Carefully unlock the lid and give the soup a stir. Have a taste and adjust to your preference. The edamame beans I bought are precooked, so I added them here. The residual heat will warm them up
Cooking macaroni soup on the stove:
Preheat a heavy-bottom pot. Add cooking oil and onion. Saute for about 2-3 minutes. Add corn kernels and carrots and saute for another minute. Add the chicken broth followed by seasonings. Bring it to a boil and then cover with a lid and lower the heat to let the sit simmer for 10 minutes
In another pot, bring water to a boil to cook the macaroni. Add 1/2 tsp of salt. Add the macaroni and cook to al dente. I will go two minute less than what recommended in the package in this recipe because we will add this to the soup later. Drain off cooking water and add the macaroni to the soup you prepared above and let it simmer for about 2 minutes or so. Turn off the heat. Have a taste and adjust to your liking
Serving:
Portion out macaroni soup into a serving bowl. Served with luncheon meat and scrambled eggs. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves. You can add chopped green onion too if you like. Serve immediately
