Malaysian style Fried Macaroni

First cook the macaroni - the way I do is to put water and macaroni together and bring to boil.
Add some salt and a little oil. Once nearly cooked, drain and set aside.
Just before making the fried macaroni, loosen the cooled down cooked macaroni.
Soak dried chilly in warm water for an hour or so.
Grind this chilly, together with some small onions, a few pips garlic, 1 large tomato.
In a pan, heat some oil and fry sliced onion.
Then add the chilly paste and let it cook until the raw smell goes off. You can add water if needed.
Add salt.
And then add sliced chicken meat and then prawns.
Add mixed vege and a dash of soy sauce.
Once meat is cooked, add loosened macaroni and stir nicely over low heat.
Keep on stirring occasionally so that the macaroni absorbs all the sauce.
Taste for salt and once dry, remove from pan.
In a separate pan scramble some eggs, and spread over the fried macaroni.
Alternatively you can add the scrambled egg while cooking, just before you switch off the fire.

Here is ONE way of doing this dish - there are plenty of methods by the way. :)
Soak rice noodles in normal water for an hour or so.
Deep fry cut potatoes (season with salt and chilly powder) and cut hard tofu and set aside.
Scramble a couple of eggs and set aside.
In some oil, fry sliced onion (lots) and garlic.
When you get the aroma, add chilly paste (ready made ones would do). Let it cook.
Add a dash of chilly sauce, soy sauce and season with salt.
Add sliced chicken and wait for it to be cooked before adding prawns.
Add cut kadugu keerai (sawi) and taugeh (bean sprouts).
Once half cooked, you can add the rice noodles. Stir nicely and let it cook.
At this stage it would be soggy. Allow the rice noodles to cook.
Finally add the potatoes, tofu and egg and give a good stir before switching off the flame.
