Main Ingredients
- 300g Vienna sausages
- Spaghetti pasta (about one handful, the size of a 500-won coin for one serving)
- 1.5L filtered water (for boiling pasta)
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the Vienna sausages in half. Then, prepare the spaghetti: thread about 5 strands of spaghetti through each sausage half. This not only makes for a pretty presentation but also makes them easier to eat. This step can be a fun activity if you’re cooking with children!
Step 2
In a large pot, pour in 1.5L of filtered water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling vigorously, add all the prepared spaghetti and cook for about 10 minutes. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the type and thickness of your spaghetti, so it’s a good idea to refer to the package instructions.
Step 3
Once the spaghetti is cooked al dente, drain it and rinse it under cold water to cool. Reserve about one cup of the pasta cooking water (pasta water). This starchy water will be useful later for adjusting the sauce’s consistency.
Step 4
Now, heat a pan over medium heat and add a moderate amount of cooking oil. Add the thinly sliced onion and sauté it slowly. Cook the onions until they turn a caramelized brown color; this will significantly deepen the flavor of your spaghetti, making it much more delicious. It’s important to sauté patiently over medium-low heat to prevent burning.
Step 5
Once the onions are nicely browned, pour in all the reserved pasta water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. As the pasta water boils, the onion’s flavor will infuse into the liquid.
Step 6
When the liquid starts to boil, add the 200g of tomato ketchup and stir well to dissolve any clumps. Tomato ketchup is the key ingredient that provides the fundamental taste and color to the spaghetti.
Step 7
Next, add the 1/2 Tbsp of minced garlic, 2 Tbsp of chili powder, and 1 Tbsp of oyster sauce. Stir everything together thoroughly to ensure all the seasonings are well combined with the sauce. You can adjust the amount of chili powder to control the spiciness. Oyster sauce adds a savory depth of flavor.
Step 8
When the sauce thickens and is ready to coat the spaghetti, add the cooked and cooled spaghetti. Toss gently to ensure the sauce evenly coats the pasta. Once everything is well mixed, turn off the heat and plate the spaghetti beautifully in a serving dish.
Step 9
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of parsley flakes over the finished spaghetti for a lovely garnish and an aromatic touch. Your delicious ‘Spicy Tomato Sausage Spaghetti’ is now complete! Enjoy your meal and have a wonderful time!
