Steps:
- Prepare the chicken broth by simmering the bones with water for one hour over low heat.
- Skim away the scum floating on the surface.
- Filter the broth through a wire mesh strainer and a cloth bag to get the clean broth. Season the broth with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the macaroni until al dente according to the instructions on the packaging. Drain the macaroni and mix it with some oil to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
- Pan-fried two slices of ham of your choice (or use luncheon meat), then cut into slices or strips.
- Bring the amount of broth you need to boil. Add a tablespoon of the frozen bean.
- Place the macaroni in a bowl. Ladle the chicken broth over it. Put a sunny-side-up egg and ham into the bowl. (Alternative: hard-boiled egg and luncheon meat slices). Garnish with thinly sliced scallion and serve.

MACARONI SALAD WITH PEAS
I love macaroni salad, but wanted something a bit lighter. I looked through a lot of recipes and combined the best of all, and added my special touch--this was a big hit even among folks who don't normally like macaroni salads. The peas are the real surprise.
