In our town, Hung Le is pretty famous as a potluck guest.
Whenever he is invited, he is expected to bring his Fried Spaghetti, which all the kids call…ta-da…
“Hung’s Famous Noodles.”
It’s an unassuming dish, fairly plain looking, but those who pass it by on the first go-around do so at their peril.
Trust me, it won’t be there when you come back looking.
Today the secret is out of the bag, because he is sharing his recipe in my Malibu Taste column over on Malibu.Patch.com. Go read it (and yes, that’s an order!).
This one’s a keeper for all of you who need a kid-pleasing potluck dish that will gain you entry into any party.






















Welcome to my kitchen, where the oven is always on, and the fridge is packed with delectables! 

















Love this! Thanks for linking up to my blog hop! Pinned
I bought a bottle of Maggi seasoning in Germany, when I was visiting my sister – but had no clue how to use it. After reading this article, I am so happy that my Maggi has finally found its home:)
Sound really simple, but I trust you (food doesn’t have to be complicated to be good:)
I’ll use my kids as guinea pigs next week!
BTW, that International potluck at your school is a fabulous idea. I wish our district is doing something similar. I just might suggest it to the board:) Really cook idea, as we have a lot of different cultures leaving in the area.
Lana,
The Multicultural Dinner is a wonderful family evening at school. It is free, of course, and just needs a couple of people to organize it, set up and clean up. Price of admission is you need to bring a potluck dish that represents your heritage, and serves 6. The array and variety that shows up is stunning, and delicious! Everyone puts a little 3×5 card next to their dish to say what it is and what culture it is from. It is also amazing to watch very young children trying all these strange dishes, and not turning up their noses at exploring new foods. Somehow, when your friend’s family made it, it seems more palatable.
Hope your family enjoys these noodles. They are very simple, and surprisingly addicting.
We’ve been frying pasta in my family for years, but ours is slightly different: we take leftover spaghetti, complete with tomato sauce, heat up some olive oil in a skillet, (get it very hot), then dump in the pasta and cook until crispy on the edges. The slightly burnt tomato taste is FAB!
Be sure you have a lid for the pan or you will have red spatter everywhere!
So as a lover of fried starch I will have to give this recipe a try… thanks.
Rash Guard Woman,
I love the idea of frying leftover spag and red sauce! Why didn’t I think of that? Off to make some spaghetti so I can have leftovers…. mmmm
We’ve been “frying” leftover spaghetti for years. It’s not truly fried, but a couple tablespoons of butter and a 1/4 cup of water in a pot, add spaghetti and cover, medium heat, stir frequently until heated through. It’s very rich (the butter does it), and my son would rather eat “leftover” spaghetti than freshly made, and I have to agree with him!
Barbara,
Your version sounds good, too!
