Categories     Noodles and Pasta

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 oz. dried spaghetti ((225g))
Salt
1 tablespoon oil
12 oz. ground beef ((340g))
1 medium onion ((finely diced))
2 cloves garlic ((minced))
2 teaspoons Shaoxing wine ((or dry cooking sherry))
2 cups chicken stock ((475 ml))
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1 cup frozen peas
2 tablespoons cornstarch ((mixed with 2 tablespoons water))

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the spaghetti. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions, undercooking it by about a minute (it will finish cooking in the sauce). While the pasta is cooking, start the sauce.
  • Heat a wok over high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Add the ground beef and cook until slightly browned, breaking up any large chunks of beef. Add the onion, garlic, and Shaoxing wine, and turn the heat down to medium. Cook until the onion is transparent, and then add the chicken stock.
  • Bring to a boil and lower the heat to a simmer. Stir in the oyster and soy sauces, sesame oil, and white pepper. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the cover, add the peas, and stir for one minute.
  • Stir up the cornstarch slurry (since the starch will separate from the water when left to sit), and drizzle the slurry into the sauce while stirring constantly. The sauce should thicken until it coats a spoon.
  • Drain the pasta, and add it directly to the wok. Toss until the pasta is coated in sauce. Feel free to add some of the pasta cooking liquid if the sauce is too thick, and add more cornstarch slurry if the sauce is too thin. Serve!

TAIWANESE SPAGHETTI



Taiwanese Spaghetti image

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.
