   Japanese Spaghetti-Chicken White SauceÂ
              @ YouLin’s style                  Â
   To me, pasta or spaghetti created most memories for me in Japan. My first part-time job was in a spaghetti restaurant in Tokyo. My first experience on how to cook a tasty spaghetti in Japanese style, how to eat in a polite way etc. A dry long spaghetti not seems special to me, but, when it mixed up with other ingredients, it becomes extraordinary dish. Especially, I like to share the way of eating spaghetti with friends. The trick is use a fork to roll spaghetti onto a spoon held parallel to the plate. Then eat the pasta off the spoon. Bib not required!
   Yoshi…Kimatta, I decided to have spaghetti for today meal to recover some of my sweet and sour memories during the part-time. Enjoy here with this Japanese spaghetti with chicken white sauce. Continue reading →
