COOKING SPAGHETTI THE CHEAPO WAY

March 6th, 2010 | 5 Comments

So I woke up on a Saturday morning to cook spaghetti. Spaghetti only ma. Who doesnt know wor. Dont have to blog it right.

Well~ Because I have no life unlike other people. Because i dont have a date on a Saturday. Because I have nothing to blog about and my blog is going dead soon.

BUT! This is yuetmui.com and I cook spaghetti the CHEAPO WAY :)

Nah.. nothing like this.

First you need the ingredients. Cheap ones.

Kimball Traditional Spaghetti Sauce – Not Prego cause this is the cheapo one.

Canned button mushrooms – got plenty of this from CNY. again, cheap one, not the fresh button mushroom.

Onions – using the local red onion. not the big-white-for-western-cooking onions here.

Minced meat – whatever you like. I’m using pork I think.

San Remo Spaghetti – that’s probably the only ingredient i insist on using the slightly branded and expensive ones.

Boil water. Add some olive normal cooking oil and a pinch of salt. Dump in the spaghetti and wait for it to cook.

This should take some time. Now, you can go prepare the ingredients.

I like the big button mushrooms so you can cut them into thin slices. If it is the small ones, just cut half.

At this time, check the spaghetti. Very likely it is not cook yet, so we chop some onions :)

Heat the wok, add oil, fry some garlic and add in the onions.

Throw in the button mushrooms & minced meat later..

Eh.. excuse me for the gross pictures. I am the cook and photographer and I only have 2 hands. I have to like *cook* *cook* *chiak chiak chiak* then resume cooking again. Can get heart attack anytime. Damn superspeed and thrilling.

Lastly, we add in the spaghetti sauce. Cook it then taste it. I add in more ketchup, sugar, salt, chicken stock and la la la to make the cheap sauce taste better.
