Ingredients
  

  • 1 package 14.1 ounces macaroni
  • Salt for cooking the macaroni
  • 1 can corned beef
  • 8.75 ounces corn kernels
  • 2 tomatoes chopped
  • 1/3 cup bell pepper chopped
  • 1/3 cup onion chopped
  • 2 pimento peppers chopped
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon all-purpose seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 scallions chopped

Method
 

  1. Cook the macaroni. Break the macaroni in half and add to a pot of salted boiling water. Cook until al dente, about 7 to 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté the vegetables. While the macaroni cooks, heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the onion, pimento peppers, and bell pepper. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until they begin to soften.
  3. Cook the corned beef. Add the corned beef and break it apart with a spoon as it softens. Cook for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the sauce and vegetables. Stir in the tomatoes, ketchup, hoisin sauce, corn, all-purpose seasoning, and pepper sauce. Cook until everything is heated through and well combined. Keep the mixture fairly saucy rather than cooking it down until dry.
  5. Combine. Add half of the drained macaroni and mix well. Add the remaining macaroni and toss again until the corned beef, vegetables, and sauce are evenly distributed.
  6. Finish and serve. Taste and adjust with salt, black pepper, and additional pepper sauce if needed. Stir in the scallions and serve warm.

Notes

  • Substitute mixed vegetables or peas and carrots for the corn.
  • Chief Chinese Sauce can be used instead of hoisin sauce.
  • Elbow macaroni can be used instead of longer macaroni and does a great job of catching the corned beef mixture.
  • If using a good nonstick pan, you shouldn't need oil to sauté the vegetables.
