Directions
Taiwanese Spaghetti, I recently started dabbling in Taiwanese cuisine and came across this recipe that is commonly made in Taiwan, comparable to the American spaghetti and meatballs made for children here in the States. It’s considered a comfort food, served on either rice or Japanese somen noodles. It has a sweet taste to it so children like it, and you can make it with or without tofu. It is also traditionally served with sliced cucumber, but I have found that it doesn’t make that much of a difference to the food. It is usually made with ground pork, but I avoid pork so I have only had it using turkey. I imagine it probably tastes just as good with ground beef as well. I will post my somen noodle sauce recipe soon, too – it tastes much better than plain somen noodles., I really enjoyed how different this recipe was! The changes I made were using 6 fresh mushrooms in place of dried mushrooms which aren’t available in my grocery store. I also did not use the tofu. Other than that, made exactly as is. My only complaint was that I never got what I would consider a sauce, it never quite thickened up, so I added a little cornstarch. I served it over rice noodles. The end result was definitely interesting, most notably the taste of cinnamon from the five spice. Was told to by the family to put this in the make again stack, so thanks for the new recipe!, I really enjoyed how different this recipe was!
