Recently I am using Spaghetti and other Italian long pasta for many Asian dishes. Why are they so widely available and inexpensive? The dry long pasta are easy to find wherever I shop. And they are really good! This is a Korean-inspired dish and it is fiery hot. It makes me sweat like hell, but I am loving it!
