For my first recipe on this blog, I think it is only natural to post my signature dish.
Here’s what you will need:
- Squid Ink Spaghetti (Any kind of noodle like thing would probably work)
- Your choice of meat – For this post I used chicken sausage
- Your choice of vegetables – I used some ugly carrots, but follow your heart!
- Onion, Garlic and stuff
- Soy sauce
- 1 Long Donut, Google search tells me that they’re actually called Long Johns
- Hotdog/Sausage/Long piece of meat of your choice
First start with the noodle aspect of the dish. Heat up some water to boil the noodles. Boil them for approximately 5 minutes.

Next, cut up all of the other ingredients for the stir-fry. In a well oiled and heated pan, stir-fry the ingredients.

Add in the noodles, soy sauce and any additional sauces to the noodles.

In another heated and oiled pan, pan fry the donut. The goal is to toast the donut. If a small toaster oven is available, consider using that instead. There is a high possibility that the caramel or frosting will melt and burn in the pan.

Heat up the sausage.

Now everything is fully cooked, so begin assembling the dish. First, cut a slit in the donut where the hotdog will go. Cutting from the side is suggested as there will be more room later on when adding the noodles.

Put the sausage in the slit.

Note that the dish is based loosely on the Japanese Yakisoba-pan. As such, add the noodles to the top of the hotdog. Top the dish with desired toppings. The example uses Japanese mayonnaise, spicy mustard and roughly chopped chives.

Overall, I rate this dish at a solid 7/10. The biggest issue was that I had attempted to fit in too much noodles into my makeshift bun. It was very messy to eat. However, I would definitely consider making this again for myself.
