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.

- Add soy sauce, sugar, cooking wine, and 5 spice powder.
- Cover and cook until sauce thickens, allowing it to boil first then on low heat.
- NOTE: Not covering the meat will cause for your "sauce" to evaporate.
