Macaroni chinois (French: Chinese macaroni), sometimes called fried macaroni, is a dish from Canadian Chinese cuisine.[1] The dish is commonly 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]
The dish is a local adaptation, rather than a traditional Chinese recipe, with soy sauce being the primary ingredient from 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]
