Chinese Spaghetti
I was introduced to this dish at a local 24 hour restaurant. I saw it listed on their special menu and all the while I was deciding on what to order, no orders came passing by my table, so I ordered it.The original dish was very simple, but I loved the spicy flavors. I thought the addition of some familiar Chinese ingredients would add to the dish. Love the texture of the bean sprouts as a garnish.
