Chinese Spaghetti Bolognese Recipes

Steps:

• Season ground chicken with salt and pepper in a medium sized bowl. Set aside.
• Mix together soy sauce, cornstarch and water. Carve the tops out of each tomato (the part that connects the tomato to the vine).
• Bring 2 quarts of water to boil. While waiting for water to boil, prepare an ice bath. Place tofu into a serving dish. Heat in microwave for 1 minute. Drain off any excess liquid.
• When water boils, place tomatoes into boiling water for 1 minute. Place immediately into ice bath. Let sit in ice bath for about 2 minutes. Remove and peel off skins. Then quarter the tomatoes.
• Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in wok. Add garlic. When garlic starts to brown, add ground chicken. Break chicken into small bits with spoon or spatula. Cook until chicken begins to brown. Remove chicken from wok. Return wok back to medium-high heat. Add tomatoes. When tomatoes start to juice (about 5 minutes), bring chicken back to wok. Turn heat to high. Make sure wok is as hot as possible and move meat-tomato mixture out to sides of wok forming a donut. Give the cornstarch sauce a couple of stirs before pouring it into the donut of the wok. Let it sit on the heat for about 10 seconds. Sauce should begin to boil and thicken. Stir-fry for another minute. Pour mixture into serving dish over tofu.

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until browned and the fat is rendered, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onions, carrots and celery and cook, stirring, until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, bay leaves, thyme, oregano, cinnamon, and nutmeg and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the beef and sausages, and cook, stirring, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring, to deglaze the pan and remove any browned bits sticking to the bottom of the pan, and until half of the liquid is evaporated, about 2 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and their juices, the tomato sauce, beef broth, and sugar and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, to keep the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan, until the sauce is thickened and flavorful, about 1 1/2 hours. Add the cream, butter, and parsley, stir well, and simmer for 2 minutes. Discard the bay leaves and adjust the seasoning, to taste. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and return the water to a low boil. Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking, until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain in a colander.
• Add the pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat. Add 1/2 cup of the cheese and toss to blend. Divide among pasta bowls and serve with the cheese passed tableside. (Alternatively, toss only the desired portion of pasta with a bit of the sauce at a time in a serving bowl, reserving the remainder for another meal.)
