A little dashi is a nice addition.

Exactly how my uncle used to make! If the pasta isn’t overcooked, I don’t eat it!!

That's cool to hear! That gives me confirmation that the recipe’s secret isn't weird.

This is the best way to make macaroni salad If you want them you can even add potatoes, tuna, even cucumber. That’s my mom’s recipe. If not tuna even crab meat.

Absolutely! This is just the base recipe and you can definitely chef it up. I've worked at a another popular Hawaii restaurant that added potato. Cucumber sounds like an interesting one. That would add a nice texture.

Only 1 thing missing celery seeds

@Wannabe-Chef Ай бұрын

Hmm celery seeds? I’ve never tried it with that. Sounds interesting. Is that a secret ingredient?

Some hawaiian macs have thinly sliced celery or finely diced. If using seeds it takes away the celery crunch that some people don't like. But the seeds are super strong. So a little goes a long way for flavor. A small pinch does alot. Also some not so good brands don't soften and could get stuck in your teeth like popcorn. Wouldn't be opposed to this idea if done properly.
