Day 72: 創意料理

This is what I like to do when I don't want to face my work and procrastinate. I wish I can do this as a living...making and trying out new recipes. 

The first one I made was spaghetti in hot dogs. It turned out to be a great idea. If you just mix them together separately, you could either get more hot dogs or spaghetti in one spoon. However, with this method, you ensure you have the right/equal amount of spaghetti and piece of hot dog in one bite. 

1) Slice the hot dogs in pieces -- it should have an appropriate thickness to it.

2) Shorten your pasta by breaking them apart -- this will make it easier to cook AND it looks like you have more in the pot too!

3) Poke through the hot dog with 5-6 sticks... it doesn't have to be exact... as long as the amount of spaghetti does not exceed the width of the hot dog then you should be fine.

4) Boil water, adding salt and oil -- it makes your spaghetti more "Q"

5) Once the water is boiling, put all the pasta into the pot for 10 minutes.

6) Drain the pasta and hotdog under cold water -- this makes the pasta to stop cooking and avoids from becoming soggy by absorbing too much water.

7) Add oil, whatever you like with your pasta, put the pasta in and then put the tomato sauce -- I always like it when the sauce just covers the pasta, so it won't be too watery and salty

Spaghetti in hot dogs 

My first try with this dish was to put it in the oven without any cover. The trick is to cover the toast and egg in the oven for about 12 minutes with 400 F heat and you would get the product that I had today!! BUT remember to deepen the bread so it has space for the egg!!

Saw this on kangxi/facebook...failed though

the next day... success!!

yum yum:)
