CHINESE SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the pork in a bowl and sprinkle with the Chinese 5-spice powder, salt and white pepper. Add the grated ginger, breadcrumbs, finely chopped scallions, egg yolk, grated garlic and a drizzle of sesame oil. Mix together and roll into small meatballs. Dress in vegetable oil and roast until brown and golden, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Heat a drizzle of vegetable oil in a soup pot. Stir in the sliced ginger, sliced garlic and chile peppers, followed by the chicken stock, 2 cups water, the bok choy and soy sauce. Simmer to flavor, cooking until the bok choy is tender-crisp, and then combine with the meatballs.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta to al dente. Combine the pasta with the sauce and meatballs, and serve in shallow bowls garnished with sesame oil, the thinly sliced scallions and crispy fried onions or fried noodles.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Heat a large high-sided saute pan over high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil shimmers, add the garlic, ginger, beans and onion and saute, stirring, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the hoisin sauce and cook, stirring, to remove any raw taste, about 2 minutes. Add the stock and wine and bring to a simmer. Add the beef substitute and reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the mixture has a sauce-like consistency, stirring occasionally, 30 to 45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook until al dente, about 5 minutes for fresh or 10 to 15 minutes for dried. Drain well and divide among serving bowls. Ladle on the sauce, then top with the cucumbers, carrots and sprouts and serve.

EASIEST CHINESE SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• TAKES AT LEAST A HALF HOUR TO COOK (an hour for first-timers). FOR YOU FIRST-TIMERS, THIS IS HOW YOU COOK THE PASTA: Boil a big pot of water.
• Add a pinch or two of salt.
• Then add the uncooked pasta when the water is starting to boil.
• Stir occasionally so that it doesn't stick.
• This takes about 20 minutes to cook.
• IN THE MEANTIME -- Heat up a big sauce pan.
• Wait until the pan is warm before adding the oil. (Any oil will do).
• Wait until the oil is heated before adding the diced onions. Put medium heat.
• Sautee about 5 minutes or until golden brown before adding the ground beef.
• Takes about 15 minutes to cook the beef. Drain the fat and majority of the liquid. (The fat will float on top of the sauce later on because it doesn't mix well so you do have to drain).
• Throw in the hoison and ketchup- mix together.
• Taste the sauce to see if you want it to be sweeter or saltier. You might have to add a little more ketchup or hoison as you go.
• Turn off the stove if you are happy with the flavor.
• AND WE'RE BACK TO THE PASTA -- Drain the water out of the pasta.
• You may add cold water to keep it from sticking but if everyone's eating and you know that there won't be any pasta left, you don't have to add cold water so that the pasta will be hot.
• If you do add cold water, drain it before trying to serve. You don't want a wet plate -- if ya know what I mean *insert wink*.
• SERVING THE FOOD. Put desired amount of pasta on plate.
• Put desired amount of sauce over the pasta. Don't put too much because it will get VERY saucy (if you know what I mean *insert 2 winks*).
• ENJOY! *This step is required*.
