Now this may look very similar to my previous post about taco seasoning and ground meat, but the taste is totally different. This spaghetti sauce has a secret ingredient which gives it a delicious Japanese-ish taste. That secret is...........
SAUCE. In Japan it is usually just called "sauce" and everyone knows exactly what you mean. "Sauce" is sometimes called "Bulldog Sauce" on account of one of the big brand makers. The brand pictured above is actually the Kagome brand which tastes identical to Bulldog. Sauce is a vegetable fruit medley remotely like a mild and sweet HP sauce. Along with the vegetable and fruit is vinegar and sugar, so there is a bit of tang to it. Anyway, the Japanese often add this to spaghetti sauce and call it "Napoliton". Don't really know why...
My sauce included onion, garlic and cubed carrot. You can see my leftover canned diced tomato from my taco recipe the other day. One can sure went a long way! The ground beef is frozen, because I divide up each container that I buy and used smaller portions. This amount was more than enough for the sauce. There was even some leftover for my husband's lunch. He will eat the meat sauce with rice in his bento. I also made some garlic toast using the buns I baked today.
There you have it! My budget meal! Japanese Napoliton spaghetti, home made garlic toast and salad!
