Great flavors!!! We had a cold snap so here is something hearty but not overly hearty.

The hungry cow in me couldn't wait for the spaghetti sauce so here was something I whipped up which was surprisingly reallygood :)

It's a simple solution to someone who has not much time to make a meal. A delicious dressing, quick-cook pasta, use of an oven, and it makes for a really delicious kid-friendly meal. The dressing can be used for salads and anything else in the future too!

When I used to eat bentos for lunch, green peppers with semi-dried baby sardines was a regular item. Now, I'm into making sautéd vegetables, like eggplant sprinkled with sesame seeds.If you prefer a crispy texture, be careful not to overcook the peppers.You can add the sesame seeds in Step 4 after removing the pepper slices from heat.

Simple, complex and good.Here is a good noodle dish, not to difficult. My wife likes peanuts for her garnish, I'm partial to the green onion and sesame seeds. The way this is made, I would rate "some spicy", my wife was "spicy". You can of course adjust the heat level to your liking, or in my case, to my wife's liking 😁

My family loved spaghetti Napolitan (a Japanese-style pasta dish). I wanted to give them a variation of it sometimes, and this recipe is the result. I used Chinese ingredients like bok choy and char siu instead of the usual western ingredients (like bell peppers, mushrooms, wiener sausages etc.) and just added 100% sesame oil! This transforms the usual spaghetti Napolitan into a fragrant, rich Chinese-style dish.Cook the spaghetti in lots of boiling water. Please boil the spaghetti according to the instructions on the packet. Stir fry the stem part of the bok choy leaves first, and then add the leaf part. Adjust the amount of salt and pepper and toasted sesame seeds to taste. Recipe by Kadoya-seiyu
