Fried Spaghetti with Oriental BBQ Sauce

I ran out of ideas what to cook. I was on detox and my creative juices were drying up. It was salads for the first two days and a mish mash of other dishes for the next two days. I spotted a half bottle of Lee Kum Kee Spare Rib Sauce in the fridge and that gave me an idea.

There was a packet of organic pasta lying on my kitchen rack for more than a year. I checked the expiry date and it said best before 13 October 2013. Oh! That is very close isn't it? And I had a green capsicum in the fridge, the odd one out leftover from my Flamenco Eggs. And then there was this head of cabbage I bought a week ago. Good thing cabbage keeps well. There was also a stick of carrot that was going soft.

I used thinly sliced pork loin for this pasta dish as that was what I had. I seasoned the meat with a tablespoon of the spare rib sauce overnight just to speed things up when I want to cook. The next day, it was just a matter of putting everything together. I would say that it tasted pretty good with a generous sprinkling of black pepper and some tomato sauce.
