Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti, broken in half
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder, or more to taste
4 hard-boiled eggs, halved and sliced
2 leeks, halved and thinly sliced
1 cup cubed fully cooked ham
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce, or more to taste

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir vegetable oil, soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and Chinese five-spice powder in a bowl to make dressing.
Drain spaghetti and place in a large bowl. Immediately pour dressing over spaghetti and mix well, so the warm spaghetti can soak up the dressing. Allow to cool completely, about 1 hour.
Mix eggs, leeks, and ham into the cold spaghetti and set aside for 1 hour for flavors to combine. Season with dark sweet soy sauce and more Chinese five-spice powder.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe vegetables. If you can, buy them from a local farmer's market or grow your own.
Don't overcook the pasta. Cook it until it is al dente, which means it is still slightly firm to the bite.
Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and zucchini.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. A simple vinaigrette or olive oil and lemon juice dressing is always a good choice, but you can also try a creamy dressing, such as ranch or blue cheese dressing.
Garnish your salad with fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Cold spaghetti party salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With so many different variations to choose from, you are sure to find a recipe that you and your guests will love.
