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.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the noodles.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover spaghetti. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I'm not a fan of bell peppers, so I substituted them with carrots. The dish still turned out great!

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I'll try making it again with less chili next time.
