Put water in a pot to soak the saltfish and remove excess salt.

Boil the saltfish for the first time, then pour off the water and add fresh water to boil again.

After the second boil, pour off the water and optionally rinse with cold water to cool it down quickly.

Prepare the macaroni by boiling hot water, adding salt, and then adding the macaroni along with some oil to keep it separated.

Chop green sweet pepper, orange sweet pepper, scallions, and tomatoes into desired sizes.

Pick apart the boiled saltfish into desired sizes, ensuring to check for any bones.

Pour off the water from the macaroni and set it aside, stirring to prevent sticking.

Heat oil in a pot and add the saltfish to fry for about two minutes to infuse flavor.

Add onions and all the chopped sweet peppers to the pot and stir to combine, cooking for about five minutes.

Add scallions and tomatoes to the mixture, stirring to incorporate without letting the tomatoes get too soft.

Add crushed pepper to the mixture based on desired spice level.

Add the cooked macaroni to the pot and stir everything together thoroughly.

Add black pepper to taste and mix well.

Optionally add green peas and sweet corn to the mixture, stirring to combine everything together.
